In conclusion, novel treatments have emerged from the increased understanding of the pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes.... The novel pathways for treatment include the development of analogs of DLP-1 with prolonged activity, inhibition of the action of DPP-4 to enhance the plasma levels of GLP-1, reduction in the rate of glucose absorption, increasing insulin sensitivity.... An evaluation of these novel treatments shows that they do not remove in total the deficits of the traditional oral anti-diabetic drugs and more evidence on their efficacy and safety is required before they can be used as replacements to the traditional oral anti-diabetics or in conjunction with them for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes....
