Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to the hospital to pick up my own test report and saw that it showed I had type 2 diabetes. This indicated that while I was not yet cured, I needed to pay attention to my diet and avoid greasy and high-sugar foods. Which oral medications are effective for treating type 2 diabetes?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of type 2 diabetes, it's not about which medication works better or worse. If you have never taken medication before, you should start with basic treatment first, such as using many biguanide-based hypoglycemic drugs, or adding sulfonylurea-based hypoglycemic drugs. When taking medication, it's essential to monitor blood sugar levels to adjust the dosage of hypoglycemic drugs in a timely manner. If active dietary control and exercise, combined with oral hypoglycemic drugs, cannot effectively control blood sugar, it is recommended to use insulin.
