A study on the blood lactate level in Type II diabetic patients on oral antidiabetic drugs

Abstract

After securing approval from relevant authorities, researchers at the Institute of Pharmacology at Madurai Medical
College Madurai analyzed the effects of oral anti-diabetic medicines (sulphonylurea and biguanides) on patients with
type II diabetes.Seventy individuals with Type II diabetes who had just been diagnosed were chosen. They are given
the medications after giving their informed permission. The patients' blood was measured both before and after
treatment. According to the research, biguanides raise the lactate level in the blood. Patients who are hypoxic are more
likely to have adverse effects from biguanides.
