W hile efficacy and safety are proven for all modern glucose-lowering drugs, their tolerability may vary. This is especially true in terms of weight gain. This communication proposes a váro-centric model of diabetes care. This approach helps choose appropriate glucose-lowering therapy, based upon weight (body mass index). The váro-centric model suggests a weight-centric approach to selection of drugs. While respecting the tenets of patient-centred care and good clinical sense, it serves as a clinical and teaching tool for rational prescription in diabetes.
