Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated to high cardiovascular risk. Given the epidemic proportions it is reaching, treatment guidelines emphasize the need of preventing and reducing major adverse cardiovascular events as well as improving glycemic control, especially in the early stages of the disease. The drugs that decrease or regulate glucose have increased in recent years and, as a result, the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus has become increasingly changing and complex; therefore, it is important to know the different drugs that exist nowadays for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and their effects, both positive and negative, at a cardiovascular level. The current recommendations emphasize the individualization of glycemic targets.
