Role of conventional oral antidiabetic drugs in management of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is caused by insulin resistance and characterized by progressive pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Recent innovative treatment approaches target the multiple pathophysiological defects present in type 2 diabetes. The targets for glycemic control as set by the American Diabetes Association (HbA1C<7%) and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (HbA1C<6.5%) sometimes appear daunting and unattainable. It is therefore of the utmost importance to have an excellent un… Show more

“…Insulin is not the only treatment of DM; there were many known oral medications that help to lower elevated blood glucose levels such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (Thakare, Shende, Shirure, & Swami, 2017). Mostly, these drugs have adverse unwanted effects which necessitate the need for new modalities like natural products to replace those (Hossen, Gan, & Khalil, 2017).…”

“…Researchers are equally interested in antidiabetic drugs that target incretin pathway. Incretins are hormones predominantly glucose-dependent insulin tropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) produced by the intestinal mucosa that enhance glucose-induced insulin secretion and lower blood glucose concentration levels (Thakare et al 2017). About 60% of the insulin release in the body is through incretin pathway via the activity of GLP-1 and GIP (Salehi et al 2012).…”
