Abstract

Diabetes mellitus therapy, in which the treatment must maintain a moment-to-moment glycaemic balance, is a major domain in which the principles of chronopharmacology must be included in the therapeutic regime. The therapeutic action, via insulin treatment in the case of insulin-dependent diabetes, or oral sulfamides or biguanides in the case of non-insulin-dependent diabetes, must take into account the physiological variations in induced blood glucose levels in order to avoid hyper or hypoglycaemia.
