Insulin Therapy
Oral Medications
Improving Insulin Sensitivity: Some medications, such as metformin, enhance the body's response to insulin, making it more effective in lowering blood sugar levels.
Decreasing Glucose Production: Drugs like sulfonylureas and meglitinides stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin and reduce the liver's production of glucose, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
Stimulating Insulin Production: Other medications, like DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists, help stimulate insulin production in response to meals and inhibit glucagon secretion, which helps reduce blood sugar levels.
