If you have type 2 diabetes, what medication(s) do you take??

Answer 1

At diagnosis I was given metformin 500mgs twice a day. Over the 7 months since then I have worked hard at my diet and exercise (lost almost 6 stone during that time too) and I am now off all drugs and controlling with diet and exercise alone.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

I was on only oral meds but I am preparing to get pregnant and my High Risk OB is now in control over my diabetes care (my regular Doc said that these docs are specialized in managing care of pregnant diabetics) she has switched me to insulin and metformin.

I take 2500mg metformin (1000mg in am and 1500 in pm) I am now injecting 15 IU of Humalog fast acting 3 times a day and 70IU of Lantus long acting once daily.

If you are not an out of control Diabetic or you are a prediabetic you can control your Diabeties with diet and exercise. I followed the Atkins plan and exercised for awhile when I was newly diagnosed but diet alone is hard because you have to be very strick and no cheating. This failed for me because I have poor will power and it may not work for everyone and it may work for you now but not in 6 months. That is how it is with diabetes. If you try managing with diet, monitor yourself very closely.

Always have a Doc on board with what ever you decide. You have Diabetes, do not let Diabetes have you. Research, read, and ask question to make the most informed decisions regarding your healthcare. Some Docs have the standard corse of treatment all maped out but if that does not work for you, be informed enough to help your Doc make decisions regarding YOUR health.

If you are afraid of shots don't be, I was. I had prepared my Husband to be the one to give them to me and he had be trained. When it came time to give the first shot I reached for the syringe and just did it and have been doing it ever since, one month into this process and I do feel like a pin cushion but the results are WOW!!

Good luck!

Answer 5

I am now off everything and work for a balance in my diet, rest and exercise.

I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

Answer 6

Saying you have Type 2 Diabetes is like saying you a cold. It varies from person to person. Some people can handle it with just diet and exercise. Others take an oral medication, still others take insulin (in any of its variations), and still others take insulin and an oral medication.
I take Humalog (a rapid acting insulin) and Lantis (a 24-hour acting insulin) and Glucophage (Metformin is the generic).

Answer 8

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/ZPtKr

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.
