Abstract: This review discusses the current antidiabetes agents and focus on incretin based therapies, which have been shown to improve hyperglycemia, weight and other CV risk factors in patients with T2DM in primary care setting. We carried out a computerized literature search through several medical databases “Medline, Embase, PubMed” up to 2018 January. We hand‐searched selected articles for additional citations relevant with our objective. The central factors to take into consideration in taking care of T2DM in primary care are individualizing treatment and entailing the patient in care planning and management. The clinician must utilize an interdisciplinary strategy to care that integrates education and learning and management of hidden conditions. T2DM is a chronic, modern condition that does not need to define the patient. Comprehending and executing evidence-based practice and following clinical technique guidelines improve the quality of first and continuous care, directly influencing the burden of disease, rate of condition development, decrease of comorbidities, and, ultimately, the patient's lifestyle.
