Diabetes medications lower blood glucose through different mechanisms targeting key defects in glucose regulation. Biguanides such as metformin primarily reduce hepatic glucose production and improve insulin sensitivity. Sulfonylureas and meglitinides stimulate pancreatic ฮฒ-cells to increase insulin secretion. SGLT2 inhibitors reduce blood glucose by increasing urinary glucose excretion through inhibition of renal glucose reabsorption.
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors delay intestinal carbohydrate absorption, while insulin therapy directly replaces or supplements endogenous insulin to control blood glucose levels.
