There are a number of oral medications and many are relatively new. The patient should go to the doctor to review his or her case and see if any of these would work as well as insulin. If the diabetic person does not monitor their blood sugar yet, I suggest they start doing so. This record could be very valuable in assessing which medication works best and for evaluating changes in diet.

It depends on what typ diabetic you are...a type one or type two.
IF you have a LACK of insulin you will need insulin shots to replace the lack of insulin.
IF you have plenty of insulin but your body can't use it to open the cell doors up to accept the sugar from the blood, then there are several oral medicines that will do the trick. See a doctor that can determine if you need insulin or just a cell door opener.
If you are taking insulin shots now, there is a pump that can be used to automatically shoot insulin into your body. It isn't perfect but does ok. It is a trial and test method to get it set up to where it most closely matches your needs. If you excercise more one day it may give you too much insulin since you use more sugar. The next day if you ly around it may not give you enough. It is a fine line between how much you eat and how much you excercise. Pops

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Several kinds of medicine can help you control your blood sugar level. Some medicines are pills that you take by mouth (orally). Oral medicine doesn’t work for everyone, though. Some people need to take insulin. If you need insulin, you’ll have to give yourself a shot. Most people with type 2 diabetes start with an oral medicine. Your doctor will tell you which kind of medicine you should take and why.
Six kinds of diabetes medicine are available in pill form: sulfonylureas, metformin, thiazolidinediones, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, repaglinide and nateglinide. Each medicine has good points and bad points. Your doctor will decide which medicine is right for you.
Sulfonylureas
Sulfonylureas (some brand names: (Amaryl, DiaBeta, Diabinese, Dymelor, Glucotrol, Glucotrol XL, Glynase, Micronase, Orinase, Tolinase)) are the most commonly prescribed diabetes medicines. They are inexpensive and have few side effects. These medicines help your body make insulin. They can be taken alone or with metformin, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, pioglitazone or insulin. If you’re allergic to sulfa, you can’t take a sulfonylurea.
Biguanides
Metformin (brand name: Glucophage) may be prescribed for people with diabetes who are overweight, because it may help with weight problems. It helps the body use insulin better. Metformin can cause problems like nausea or diarrhea in some people. It can be taken with a sulfonylurea.
Thiazolidinediones
This class of medicines includes rosiglitazone (brand name: Avandia) and pioglitazone (brand name: Actos). An older medicine, troglitazone (brand name: Rezulin) is no longer being made because of the risk of liver problems. Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone appear less likely to cause liver problems, but people taking them need periodic liver tests. These medicines help your body respond better to insulin. Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone can be used alone or in combination with other diabetes medicines.
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (brand names: Precose, Glyset) work in your stomach and bowels to slow down the absorption of sugar. If another medicine doesn’t control your blood sugar, you might use this kind. This medicine can cause stomach or bowel problems, so it may not be a good choice if you have a history of stomach or bowel trouble. It can be taken alone or with a sulfonylurea.
Meglitinides
Repaglinide (brand name: Prandin) is taken with meals to control your blood sugar. Your doctor can tell you how to adjust the dose according to the number of meals you eat. Repaglinide can be taken alone or with metformin. Nateglinide (brand name: Starlix) is taken with meals to keep your blood sugar level from getting too high after you eat. Nateglinide can be taken alone or with metformin.
Your doctor may prescribe a combination of 2 or even 3 types of medicine to help you control your blood sugar levels. Some combinations are available together in one pill. Some of these include a combination of a thiazolidinedione and a biguanide (Avandamet and ACTOplus Met) or a sulfonylurea and a biguanide (Glucovance and Metaglip).

Message to the other answerers: Why Chicago get so many thumbs down, he WAS the user Donovan T. He was a great user, and message to the questioner: you might as well just leave him alone. He left because he didn't want to be part of this section anymore (no offense) and giving his account back would be useless, sure he'll have his account back but theres no chance that hes coming back anytime soon.
