In addition to the dominant insulin and its analogues and traditional drugs such as α-glucosidase inhibitors, sulfonylureas, biguanides and glinides, new target antidiabetic drugs such as GLP-1 agonists, DPP Ⅳ inhibitors and SGLT-2 inhibitors have also been widely used clinically in recent years and have become a hot spot on the market.
