Anti-diabetic Agents
Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder with disrupted glucose balance, demands precise management to avert adverse
effects. This imbalance fuels the development of anti-diabetic agents, including exogenous insulin and oral medications
like sulfonylureas, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Each targets distinct aspects of
glucose regulation, providing a comprehensive approach to diabetes care.

The first recorded mention of diabetes dates to ancient Egypt (around 1552 BC), where physicians described a condition
associated with frequent urination and loss of weight. However, it wasn't until the 20th century that insulin was
discovered and used for diabetes management.
