Question: where to place discussion of selecting anti-diabetic drugs?
The new insulin randomized controlled trial in NEJM, along with the question above, raise the important point of where to discuss the trials that guide selecting a treatment regimen for diabetes? This discussion could legitimately go under Diabetes mellitus type 2, Anti-diabetic drug, or insulin. So we do not grow parallel content that is difficult to harmonize, I propose this content only go in one of these places with the other two places noting the discussion and linking to it. I would like to clarify this now before adding.

I propose this discussion go under Diabetes mellitus type 1 and Diabetes mellitus type 2, which is where most of the discussion is currently. Is this ok? Badgettrg 20:21, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Alternative/complementary treatments
The "Herbal extracts" section could use some expansion and better referencing. I was surprised to find no mention of Gymnema sylvestre, since it seems to be used widely, both traditionally (especially in India) and as a supplement, and a lot has been published on it (no RCTs, though). Fvasconcellos (t·c) 23:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Well. Two years on, there is still no mention of Gymnema. I also find it odd that the article mentions Myrcia extracts and not Bauhinia fortificata (pata de vaca), which is arguably the most popular folk remedy for diabetes in Brazil (and for which there is ample evidence of efficacy in animal models), or Syzygium jambolanum, which is also very popular (and has been very extensively researched, although there is no clear-cut evidence to support its use).

Testosterone
Testosterone is the most powerful and safe anti-diabetic drug and therefore I have inserted one paragraph —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.194.199.13 (talk) 16:22, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * This is too POV "Testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism) can easily results in diabetes mellitus, therefore testosterone replacement therapy is proven to be very effective against diabetes mellitus type 2 because it reduces insulin resistance. "

It is what the articles say! if you want you may also change the sentences, but leavineg the section —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.225.44.181 (talk) 16:02, 22 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Which article said this? I looked at both of them and missed "most powerful and safe anti diabetic drug" Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 17:48, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Just ignore this - rehash of indef blocked SPA giving undue weight to primary sources, but not reflecting majority (general medical consensus) - anon sock block evasions are now being blocked and rehashed talk sections deleted:  & . David Ruben Talk 03:02, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Anti-diabetic medications
Moving to this title as medication is the more accepted term Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 17:03, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Late to the party, but I'm not at all sure this is a good idea. (Internationally, actually, "drug" or "medicine" are more widely accepted.) See my post over at WP:PHARM. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 19:15, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Would support the use of medicine rather than medication. -- Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:21, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Comparison
I was going to edit the comparison table to remove "effective" from the advantages of secretagogues (metformin and the glitazones typically reduce A1C just as effectively) and add "inexpensive" to metformin (it's long been off-patent). But then I saw that the table was taken directly from a published source and I'm hesitant to tweak it. Suggestions? --Yaush (talk) 15:01, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

This direct quote seems very one-sided in summing up the controversy described in its paragraph: "This weak evidence for adverse effects has reduced the use of rosiglitazone, despite its important and sustained effects on glycemic control." I did a little looking around and find that Ajjan and Grant, to whom the quote is attributed (see footnote 15), disclose a business relationship with several manufacturers of the type of drug described in the controversy. See "Disclosure" in http://spo.escardio.org/eslides/view.aspx?eevtid=33&id=5118, which mentions consulting fees and research paid for by a number of drug manufacturers. I would think that this sentence should be removed from this article, given the article's otherwise-apparent intent of objectivity. Robtrodes (talk) 01:13, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

hyphens
The hyphen should be removed from anti-diabetic in the title. The text has been edited as it was inconsistent. Just as antibiotic isn't hyphenated (nor is antihyperglycemic in the article), antidiabetic does not require hyphenation. MS Word doesn't like it, but that doesn't make it correct. The American Diabetes Association uses the nonhyphenated form. 72.1.68.18 (talk) 13:30, 9 September 2016 (UTC)KBoehm
 * Thanks for this note! I have reverted for now - we can discuss this and if we get consensus we'll rename the article and fix all the instances, all at once.
 * About your claim that ABA uses "antidiabetic"... we generally need sources, not just claims. So I looked.


 * "anti-diabetic" is used
 * here (page aimed at the public on costs) and
 * 2008 press release about huge clinical trial
 * "antidiabetic" is used:
 * journal article they wrote on costs, on which the costs website is based
 * 2013 press release about that costs study
 * 2007 press release about different study

Small sample, but they are not consistent in any way that I can see.

Antidiabetics Antidiabetic Drugs Drugs, Antidiabetic Antidiabetic Agents Agents, Antidiabetic
 * MESH term is Hypoglycemic Agents; as synonyms they list:

I am in favor of using MESH terms as much as we can so I would support switching to the unhyphenated version... What do others think? Jytdog (talk) 17:47, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

serious problems with insulin classification list
Regular insulin, and so on are not rapid acting insulin. They are the modified insulins which begin to act within perhaps 15 minutes, and whose action is largely ended in something like an hour. Examples are lispro, aspart, ... This list is incorrect, and dangerously so. It should be corrected! 69.118.211.159 (talk) 10:25, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
