Abstract

The invention provides a method for determining a suitable drug combination for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes by obtaining data from a Type 2 diabetes population in which all of the Type 2 diabetics are not taking any Type-2 diabetes drugs and obtaining reference levels of glucose supply and insulin demand parameters. Data from discrete samples of Type 2 diabetes populations in which all individuals are being treated with one or more Type 2 diabetes drugs at a therapeutic dose are also obtained, and the effects of the drugs on the glucose supply and insulin demand parameters are used to determine adjustment factors which represent the effect of each of the drugs at the therapeutic dosage, which are used to determined a ratio of a Glucose Supply Index (S) to an Insulin Demand Index (D). The ratio is further utilized in scoring cardiovascular risks for Type 2 diabetics and recommending therapeutic interventions.
