Expert Solution
Step 1

Diabetes medications work by changing the blood glucose level to treat diabetes mellitus. Pramlintide, the majority of GLP receptor agonists (including liraglutide, exenatide, and others), and insulin are all taken by mouth, making them all oral hypoglycemic medications or oral antihyperglycemic agents. Anti-diabetic medications come in several classes, and the choice of one relies on the type of diabetes, the patient's age and circumstances, among other things.
