| Abstract | Type 2 diabetes mellitus and comorbidities related to overweight/obesity are risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition to insulin resistance and progressive beta-cell failure as key factors in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus, defects in the incretin system are now known to contribute as well. Lifestyle modifications including diet and exercise are often insufficient for reducing glucose and weight, and most patients with type 2 diabetes will require pharmacotherapy to treat their hyperglycemia. Goals of therapy should be to reduce blood glucose to as low as possible, for as long as possible, without weight gain and hypoglycemia, and correcting cardiovascular risk factors. Numerous antidiabetes medications lower blood glucose; however, many are associated with weight gain and do not address risk factors present for CVD. Newer pharmacotherapies include the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, and amylinomimetics. The GLP-1 receptor agonists and amylinomimetics reduce glucose while promoting weight loss and improving other cardiovascular risk factors with a low incidence of hypoglycemia. The DPP-4 inhibitors effectively lower glucose and are weight neutral. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
