Oral Diabetic Medications
If you are a diabetic, your physician may have you take an oral medication. This is an attempt to help your body control blood sugar levels. These medications may be used alone, or with insulin and other medications.
Both individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes can benefit from oral medications. Oral medications are a fairly new treatment in the fight against diabetes. They are proving to be successful in helping the body temper the rise and fall of blood sugar levels.
The oral medications that are available in the United States come from five classes of drugs. They each work differently in regulating blood sugar levels. Your doctor will prescribe the medication which he or she thinks will work best for you. When you start a new oral medication, you should always watch for symptoms of low blood sugar. If your blood sugar drops dramatically on a continual basis, your doctor may regulate your dose so you'll stay at a more comfortable and safe level.
