Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic progressive disease which patients can live with for decades. They are given many recommendations
regarding lifestyle changes, diet, and exercise. Moreover, they also have to take medications according to current recommendations, the
number of which increases with increasing duration of the disease. This concerns not only the treatment with antidiabetic drugs, but also
concurrent hypolipidemic medication, antihypertensives, etc. A large number of pills used during the day leads to their omitting, thus
lowering the overall effect. Fixed combinations of drugs administered by mouth or by injection certainly increase adherence to treatment.
