The lifestyle modifications, such as proper diet and regular exercise, also play a major role in prevention of diabetic complications. The chemotherapy of diabetes has the major role in maintaining the plasma glucose levels near to normal that can reduce the incidence of worsening of the disease. The drugs like Sulfonylureas, Biguanides, Thiazolidinediones, Meglitinides, Aldose Reductase Inhibitors, Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors and insulin are used in the management of diabetes and its complications.
