Insulin and Pens

Insulin is delivered via vials with syringes, insulin pens, pump-delivered, or inhaled to replace or supplement the body's missing or ineffective insulin to control blood glucose and prevent complications. There are different types of insulin depending on how quickly they work, when they peak, and how long they last.

Non-Insulin Treatments

Non-insulin treatments include oral medications (e.g., metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, DPP-4 inhibitors, sulfonylureas), non-insulin injectables (GLP-1 receptor agonists, amylin mimetics), and glucagon (emergency injectable or nasal for severe hypoglycemia). These agents improve glycemic control through mechanisms such as enhancing insulin secretion, reducing glucose production, promoting weight loss, or counteracting low blood glucose.
