Hello! . The ability to produce insulin has not been completely lost in patients with type 2 diabetes. Some patients even produce too much insulin, but the effect of insulin is very poor. Therefore, patients are relatively short of insulin, and insulin secretion can be stimulated by some oral drugs. However, some patients still need insulin treatment in the later stage.

Suggestion:

It is necessary to take hypoglycemic drugs for diabetes. In clinical examination, biguanides (such as metformin) are used. These drugs can reduce the glucose output of the liver, help muscle cells, fat cells and the liver absorb more glucose from the blood, thus lowering the blood sugar level. The main function of oral hypoglycemic drugs such as sulfonylureas (such as glimepiride, glibenclamide, gliclazide and gliquidone) is to stimulate the release of more insulin from islets. The mechanism of action of benzoic acid derivatives (such as repaglinide and nateglinide) is similar to that of sulfonylureas, which mainly stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin to lower blood sugar.
