Review

PMID 17638715 may be helpful for an expansion. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 16:58, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Question: where to place discussion of selecting anti-diabetic drugs?

The new insulin randomized controlled trial in NEJM (doi:10.1056/NEJMoa075392), 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 doi:10.1056/NEJMoa075392.

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?

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).
