Oral Diabetes Drugs
There are several types of oral treatments. Some stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin and are referred to as the "oral hypoglycemics". Others slow the digestion and absorption of starches and are called the "starch blockers". Metformin (Glucophage®) decreases the production of glucose by the liver and increases glucose utilization by the tissues, while another group increases the sensitivity of the tissues to insulin and is called the "insulin sensitizers". A patient may receive drugs from several classes to provide the best effect.
