This is the reason why the cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes receives significant attention, especially the possibilities to influence it therapeutically, both through the therapy of hyperglycaemia itself and comprehensive modification of all risk factors, but also through the manner of antidiabetic therapy - i.e. through the selection of a particular antidiabetic agent.
