Antidiabetic agents are medications that are used to treat diabetes by helping to regulate blood sugar levels. Synonyms for antidiabetic agents include diabetes drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, glucose-lowering agents, and blood sugar regulators. These medications work in different ways, such as increasing insulin production, improving insulin sensitivity, or inhibiting carbohydrate digestion and absorption. Some examples of antidiabetic agents include metformin, insulin, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, and thiazolidinediones. It is important for individuals with diabetes to work closely with their healthcare provider to determine which antidiabetic agent(s) are appropriate for their specific needs and to effectively manage their condition.
