Description
The case is a 65-year-old male who has been treated for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) for 26 years. He has no previous history of cerebral vascular accident (CVA) or coronary heart disease (CHD). He has been treated on insulin therapy, and recently his glucose variability became worse due to the irregular lifestyle. Then, diabetic treatment was changed to Xultophy, which consists of insulin degludec and liraglutide. Providing 16 units of Xultophy brought him a satisfactory daily profile of blood glucose, which seemed to be lower doses compared with the ordinary standard amount. Treatment of Xultophy seems to be effective and some discussion would be described from several points of view.
