Brief Summary  
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a syndrome characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and
disturbances of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism due to deficiency of insulin (type
1) or insensitivity of the target tissues to insulin (type 2). Oral therapy for type 2 diabetes,
when used appropriately, can safely assist patients to achieve glycemic target in the short
term to medium term. In the current standard of care treatment for newly diagnosed type 2
diabetes mellitus patient, Metformin still finds a place as the first line drug. Although lifestyle
modification remains the mainstay for all patients of type 2 diabetes. 
The therapeutic armamentarium for diabetes is growing day-by-day. In this rapidly growing
list of pharmacotherapy for type 2 diabetes is a very new group of oral antidiabetic
tetrahydrotriazine‐containing drug Imeglimin.
