Diabetes, Hypertension and Metabolic Syndrome

Anti-Diabetic Medication

Anti-Diabetic Medications work by either lowering down blood glucose level or by increasing sensitivity to insulin. Type 1 Diabetes is caused by lack of insulin hence, insulin has to be administered subcutaneously. Type 2 Diabetes is treated by oral hypoglycemic agents which act either by (a) increasing the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas, (b) increasing the sensitivity of target organs to insulin or (c) decreasing the rate at which glucose is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
