Medications for Type II Diabetes
If medications are needed, there are several different
types of drugs for Type II Diabetes that can be taken by
mouth. Your doctor will tell you what kind of pills to
take and how often. In addition, insulin may be required
in some individuals. Some patients will require more than
one medication to achieve and maintain good diabetes
control. Taking pills does not replace healthful habits.
Insulin shots
Insulin helps your cells take in blood sugar.
You then you no longer have too much sugar in your blood.
Your doctor will try you
on pills first. But sometimes pills dont work. Or
they work at first and then stop. When this happens, your
doctor may have you take both pills and insulin or maybe
just insulin alone. Your doctor will tell you what kind
of insulin to take, how much and when.
