What is the main action of the oral hypoglycemics?

Oral hypoglycemics primarily lower blood glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes by enhancing insulin sensitivity, stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas, or decreasing glucose production by the liver. These medications can also improve glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. By targeting various pathways involved in glucose metabolism, they help maintain better glycemic control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
