A review on dicarboxylic acids and their derivatives used to treat diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and complex condition that disrupts how the body breaks down proteins, fats, and sugars. It is described as being incapable of decreasing the blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes is caused by β cell failure in the pancreas, whereas type 2 diabetes is caused by insufficient insulin and the body's resistance to it. Diabetes is considered a common disease. There are many drugs and techniques put into practice to control diabetes. The current drugs for diabetes, including insulin and other agents, have some problems. These include needing to be used for a long time, having bad side effects, and being expensive. Due to these problems, people are more likely to look for safer and cheaper medicines, such as plant-based medicines. The plants, which have natural ingredients, are now being studied in research.
