Blood Glucose levels are mainly determined by absorption of glucose from gut, uptake of glucose by peripheral tissues (muscle, adipose tissue), hepatic glucose output and the insulin secretion from the pancreas. Various oral anti-diabetic agents act by modifying the factors aiding in the control of hyperglycemia. Our team of doctors analyse each case in detail and then come up with a plan to use drugs that suit the individual type and case. In addition various combinations of the oral drugs are planned for effective management of the disease. In some cases Insulin therapy is advised but at all times our aim is to slowly reduce the drug intake of the patient.
