Pharmacological treatment approaches of Type II Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is one of the world’s major diseases. It currently affects an estimated 143 million people worldwide and the number is growing rapidly. Anti-diabetic drugs treat diabetes mellitus by lowering glucose levels in the blood. With the exceptions of insulin, exenatide, and pramlintide, all are administered oraly and are thus also called oral hypoglycemic agents.
