Insulin and oral hypoglycaemic [antidiabetic] drugs - what does this mean
Insulin and oral hypoglycaemic drugs are used to treat diabetes, a condition in which the body does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use the insulin it produces efficiently. insulin is a hormone that helps the body use glucose from food for energy. oral hypoglycaemic drugs help the body to produce more insulin or make the body more sensitive to the insulin it produces. both treatments help to keep blood sugar levels in the normal range.
What happens during the disease - insulin and oral hypoglycaemic [antidiabetic] drugs
Insulin and oral hypoglycaemic drugs work to restore normal glucose levels by increasing the uptake of glucose into cells, stimulating the production of insulin, and decreasing the production of glucose by the liver. the combination of these effects helps to reduce the amount of sugar in the bloodstream, allowing the body to properly regulate glucose levels.
