Oral Agents for the Treatment of Gestational Diabetes.

abstract：:Unfortunately, the only approved medical treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) is insulin, despite the fact that tight control cannot be reached without some serious side effects such as hypoglycemia and weight gain. More and more importance is now shifted towards developing new drugs that can reach a better gly...
