So here are some journal articles I found regarding the three different types of antidiabetic drugs. Basicially sulfonylurea works by increasing the insulin release from the pancreas while biguanides regulates the glucose production in the liver and thiazolidinediones help cells become more insulin sensitive. I will talk about all these in much more detail in the research paper and the diagrams.
Actually, after researching some more, I decided to just focus on biguanides.
