1 | Three types of oral medications exert their antidiabetic action without directly stimulating insulin release: alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g., acarbose) interfere with the digestion of dietary glucose precursors and the absorption of glucose; biguanides (e.g., metformin) inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis, thereby lowering fasting blood glucose concentrations and increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity; and thiazolidinediones (e.g., rosiglitazone) improve the sensitivity of tissues to insulin-stimulated glucose disposal. | Acarbose | insulin | Homo sapiens |
