Complication of insulin therapy• Hypoglycemia• Insulin allergy and resistance• Lipodystrophy at injection site :
lipoatrophy (variant of an immuneresponse to insulin) lipohypertrophy(lipogenic action)

I. Insulin secretagogues
Sulfonylureas– increase insulin release from pancreatic B cells– reduction of serum glucagon concentration– potentiate of insulin action on target tissues– First generation
tolbutamide, chlorpropamide, tolazamide– Second generation
glyburide, glipizide, glimepiride
Pharmacokinetics• effectively absorbed from GIT• 2nd gen. are approximately 100 times more
potent than 1st gen.• metabolized by the liver and the metabolites are
excreted in the urine(chlorpropamide: incompleted metabolize, 20% excreted unchanged)
Clinical Use of biguanides• obesity• combination with sulfonylurea in type 2 diabetes
III. ThiazolidinedionesTroglitazone (idiosyncratic liver damage)
Rosiglitazone & pioglitazone
• mechanism of action : not fully understood , but the drug appears to reduce insulin resistance
• Both fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia are reduced)

• carbohydrate analog that act within the intestine inhibit alpha-glucosidase slow absorption(postprandial hyperglycemia is reduced, no effect on fasting blood sugar)
Adverse Reaction
• flatulence, diarrhea, abdominal pain, releasing gas
IV. Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors(Acarbose, Miglitol)
