This document discusses several classes of drugs used to treat diabetes, including their mechanisms of action and clinical uses. It also briefly covers drug classes used to treat other conditions such as thyroid disorders, growth hormone deficiencies, Cushing's syndrome, and oxytocin. The key classes of diabetes drugs mentioned are insulin, biguanides, sulfonylureas, glitazones/thiazolidinediones, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, amylin analogs, GLP-1 analogs, and DPP-4 inhibitors. Insulin regulates blood sugar levels by binding to insulin receptors and facilitating glucose uptake and storage. Biguanides like metformin decrease glucose production and increase insulin sensitivity. Sulfonylureas
