abstract	An anti-diabetic drug or oral hypoglycemic agent is used to treat diabetes mellitus. The medications usually work by lowering the glucose levels in the blood. There are different types of anti-diabetic drugs, and their use depends on the nature of the diabetes, age and situation of the person, as well as other factors. Insulin, exenatide, and pramlintide are the only non-oral antidiabetic drugs. Insulin is the mainstay of treatment in Type 1 diabetes, in which insulin production is impaired. In Type 2 diabetes, insulin is used when oral medication has become ineffective. Exenatide and pramlintide are new injectable medications approved in 2005 in the US by the FDA to treat type 2 diabetes.
