EFFECT OF ANTI-DIABETIC DRUGS ON SERUM B12, MINERALS LIKE ZINC, MAGNESIUM, PHOSPHORUS AND CALCIUM IN TYPE II DIABETES MELLITUS (T2DM)

Metformin, the first-line drug, can reduce hepatic gluconeogenesis and increase insulin sensitivity. At the molecular level, metformin inhibits the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which leads to an increase in adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, which increases insulin sensitivity. Recent guidelines advocate metformin as the first-line agent that has a glucose-lowering effect concur...
