Abstract

It is estimated that 200 million people suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide. Diabetes mellitus and associated disorders of hypertension and arteriosclerosis are the most common causes. Appropriate glucoregulation may postpone its onset and/or progression. Although insulin is the most commonly used antidiabetic agent in CKD patients, nowadays there is a wide spectrum of oral antidiabetic agents that can be used safely and effectively across different stages of CKD.
