Diabetes medicine for treating diabetes We have 12 to 13 different groups of medicines for high blood sugar. The principle of the medicinal treatment of diabetes is that we start with one medication early during treatment of diabetes. We keep adding medicines as needed to control our blood sugar (along with diet & exercise) www.add15years.com www.add15years.in


Diabetes Increased blood sugar Diabetes is a condition that leads to high levels of Blood Sugar.

Decreased Insulin This happens when our body can’t make or use insulin like it’s supposed to. Insulin is a substance that helps use the sugar from the food you eat. www.add15years.com www.add15years.in

2. Pills/Medicines which help to insulin (Sulfonylureas) Glyburide, glipizide and glimepiride are examples of some of the more commonly used sulfonylureas. This group of medicines lowers your blood sugar by stimulating beta cells to make more insulin. The SFUs are generally taken once or twice daily. For these medicines to work, your pancreas must have beta cells that work. www.add15years.com www.add15years.in


3. Insulin releasing medicines (NonSulfonylureas) Glinides. Another type of insulin releasing medicine (Secretatogues) are the Glinides (repaglinide and nateglinide). These medicines work the same way as SFUs—they also stimulate the beta cells to make more insulin.
