TI  - Targeting composite treatment of type 2 diabetes in middle-income 
      countries--walking a tightrope between hyperglycaemia and the dangers of 
      hypoglycaemia.

AB  - Middle-income countries need a rational and cost-effective approach to optimise 
      management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is a paucity of data from 
      such countries on the extent of hypoglycaemia and its consequences for their 
      healthcare systems. This review provides the context for health policy change and 
      evaluates available data on diabetes complications, focusing on hypoglycaemia in 
      T2DM patients in non-Western countries. Suitable guidelines are suggested for 
      these communities, which are in transition from poverty to affluence and in 
      transition from an environment where infectious diseases predominate to one where 
      non-communicable diseases are predominant.
