Managing type 2 diabetes involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medications. Your doctor will help you create a plan to keep your blood sugar levels in check. The first line of treatment often includes metformin, a pill that helps your body use insulin more effectively. If metformin alone isn't enough, your doctor may add other medications such as alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and others. Each type of medication works differently to help control blood sugar levels. In some cases, you may also need insulin therapy. Insulin can be injected using a syringe, a pen, or an insulin pump. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions on how to take these medications and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. Lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are also crucial in managing type 2 diabetes.
