Abstract
Due to the growing incidence of diabetes in general population, searching for new therapeutic methods of this condition becomes more and more challenge. In the last years, some new medications for treatment of diabetes type 2 were registered. What is important, new researches are focusing on finding new, different from previously applied mechanisms of action to decrease blood glucose level. The following article presents a brief description of medications affecting incretin pathway, inhibitors of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2, bromocriptine and colesevelam.
