Last time we had a look at some popular drugs that are effective in treating Diabetes. Sulfonylureas (Glucotrol) in combination with Glucophage (Metformin) is highly respected in medical circles as a means of maintaining a healthy level of blood sugar. Prandin works well with Metformin as well.

Another great drug for treating Type 2 Diabetes is Starlix. This is a relatively new drug. The working of Starlix is similar to Prandin, however, the dosage of this drug is the same over time unlike Prandin which need an adjustment in dosage level. The kidneys are not negatively affected by Starlix, which is one reason for its popularity and great promise.

One aspect of diabetes treatments is the increase in the body’s own production of insulin and the decrease of liver sugar. Another angle to diabetes treatment is the decrease of carbohydrate absorption by the intestines. This makes carbohydrate elimination easier. If you are allergic to sulfur and cannot take sulfonylureas then Precose is a great option.

Although Diabetes is a major illness without a cure, a diabetic diagnosis must be met with courage, and the knowledge that there are many new drugs that can treat diabetes in the market.
