Next, to that Metformin was used as first line agent all type2 diabetes patients.Sulfonylureas such as Glimepiride Glibenclamide were used as second line agent. Oral anti-diabetic drugs still dominate the drug prescribing pattern, but there was a little change in the study towards the use of Insulin preparations in the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus because of the severe diabetic level and insulin deficiency.
