摘 要:Diabetes mellitus,particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),poses a significant global health *** management strategies primarily focus on glycemic control;however,there is a growing need for comprehensive approaches addressing the complex pathophysiology of diabetes *** recent study by Attia et al explores the potential of a novel therapy combining metformin with cholecalciferol(vitamin D3)and taurine to mitigate T2DM-related complications in a rat *** findings indicate that this treatment combination improves glycemic control and reduces oxidative stress,inflammation,and lipid ***,the study is limited by a lack of safety profile data and in-depth molecular mechanism *** editorial critically highlights the study s strengths and weaknesses,compares it against other combination therapy research in T2DM,and underscores the need to explore further the mechanisms underpinning the observed therapeutic effects and investigate the safety profile of this novel approach.
