Journal Title: Journal of Endocrinology and Diabetes - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
It is generally believed that the initial management of people with type 2 diabetes is based on the acceptance of a change in the life style which includes avoid overweight and regular physical activity. When is necessary to add a pharmaceutical drug to reduce hyperglycemia it is important to bear in mind that anti-diabetic agents act through different mechanisms of action, including reduction in hepatic glucose production, stimulation of insulin secretion and increasing insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues [1-2].
