Best Answer

Type 2 Diabetes is, in early stages, normally treated with diet, exercise, and oral medications that decrease blood sugar level.

However, the best treatment options and outcomes are still under study and so if it's your own body under threat, you'd be best off doing your own research. By the time all the results are in and confirmed, you may have permanent damage to your limbs, eyes, kidneys and heart from incorrect treatments.

A lot of doctors will first prescribe you with Metformin or Glucophage. If they need to give you more they will also try Glyburide or it's cousin. Metformin is most popular, the glyburide just helps turn your pancreas into a sponge for the metformin.

Firstly, by modifications to the diet. High in protein, low in certain carbohydrates such as cake. Many less severe cases of type ll diabetes can be controlled by diet alone. Most people with type ll diabetes are overweight, and getting down to a weight that is right for your age and build helps a lot. If dietary changes alone do not bring the condition under control, medicine may be added in tablet form. These make the pancreas secrete more insulin, which deals with the excess of sugar in the blood stream. The medication has side effects such as weight gain and mood swings, so the drugs should be avoided if it is medically wise to do so. As there are so many complications of diabetes, it is important to get it under control as soon as possible.
