Definitions
Any substance used to reduce hyperglycemia or treat disorders associated with diabetes. Based on their mechanism of action, this class of agents can be classified to the following groups: directly acting insulomimetics, which activates insulin receptors; indirectly acting insulinomimetics, which increase insulin release such as sulfonylureas or which potentiate the effect of insulin such as metformin; those act directly on the metabolism of glucose such as inhibitors of glucosidases and inhibitors of aldose reductase. [url:http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C29711] Diabetes leads to macrovascular complications such as MI and stroke and microvascular complications, principally ocular and renal. Nonetheless, MI and stroke are far and away the leading causes of death in patients with type 2 diabetes, and heart failure is also a major cause of their hospitalizations and deaths.[url:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30563358/]
