Answer: Sulfonylureas

Step-by-step explanation:

Antidiabetic agents: These agents reduce symptoms of diabetes, such as thirst, excessive urination (polyuria), and weight loss. Doctors prescribe antidiabetics according to the type of diabetes. Some antidiabetics include sulfonylureas and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Sulfonylureas increase the amount of insulin produced by beta cells of the pancreas. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors prevent the breakdown of carbohydrates to simple sugars to keep blood sugar levels low.
