I've recently been diagnosed with diabetes. What are the most recent developments in treatment?

The latest developments in treating diabetes involve insulin pumps, which can be used to deliver small doses of insulin continuously throughout the day. These devices are designed to help people manage their blood sugar levels more effectively and reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes. Other treatments include the use of oral medications such as sulfonylureas, which help control glucose levels by increasing the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas; and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which increase the sensitivity of cells to insulin. Additionally, there are new classes of drugs that target specific pathways involved in the development of type 2 diabetes.
