I have type 2 diabetes. Which medication works the fastest to lower blood sugar levels?
Asked by Female, 33 · 8 days ago
In type 2 diabetes, insulin works the fastest to lower high blood sugar levels, especially in emergencies or when readings are very high. Some oral medications, such as sulphonyureas, can also lower sugar levels quickly by helping your body release more insulin shortly after a dose. The right choice depends on your blood sugar levels and overall health, so it is important to discuss this with your doctor.

Fastest-Acting Medication: For rapid blood sugar reduction in type 2 diabetes, insulin is typically the fastest-acting option. Rapid-acting insulins like Lispro, Aspart, or Glulisine can lower blood sugar within 15-30 minutes.
Considerations: Consult your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate medication based on your specific health needs and lifestyle.
