GlossaryDiabetes Medication (Antidiabetic Drugs)

medications that help control blood sugar levels in diabetes

Diabetes medication, also known as antidiabetic drugs, are treatments used to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. These medications can include insulin, which is essential for type 1 diabetes, and various oral or injectable drugs like metformin, sulfonylureas, and GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are often used for type 2 diabetes. They work through different mechanisms, such as increasing insulin production, improving insulin sensitivity, or reducing glucose absorption.
