Hormonal replacement therapy (Insulin injection) is must for the later and the former type is managed by oral hypoglycemic agents. Hypoglycemic agents are shortlisted as Secretagogues and Insulin senziters based on their mechanism like stimulation of �Ÿ-cells of pancreas, enhancing the peripheral uptake of glucose, diminishing the Insulin resistance and inhibition of Gluconeogenisis. Glucose absorption in GUT and re-absorption in the kidney were also targeted in order to get a beneficial activity.
