PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to collect all the data regarding imeglimin and present it as one of the options for managing diabetes. RECENT FINDINGS: It is a new drug that has recently been approved as an oral anti-diabetic drug, either as monotherapy or in combination with other oral antidiabetic drugs including insulin, with modest HbA1c reduction, and a fairly safe profile. Imeglimin was first approved in 2021 in Japan and China and is available in India from October 2022. Imeglimin is the first compound in a new class of oral anti-diabetic medications known as "glimins" that include a tetrahydrotriazine ring. Glimins act by amplifying glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and preserving ß-cell mass, leading to augmented insulin secretion. Furthermore, It also intensifies insulin action by inhibiting of hepatic glucose output and recovery of altered insulin signalling in both hepatocytes (liver) and myocytes (skeletal muscle). This is a unique mode of action than has been demonstrated to be distinct from other classes of drugs, as it targets both insulin secretion and insulin resistance by correcting the mitochondrial dysfunction. Imeglimin has been studied in various phase III trials which have equivocally shown it to be effective in lowering glucose levels and improving pancreatic function and its recommended dose set at 1000 mg bid.
