Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin or does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar effectively. Teneligliptin belongs to a class of drugs called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which help lower blood sugar by increasing the levels of certain hormones that stimulate insulin release and reduce glucose production in the liver. It is typically prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Teneligliptin can be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medications, such as metformin or sulfonylureas, depending on the individual's needs and response to treatment.
