My Type 2 diabetes is uncontrolled. What medicines should I take to manage it?
Managing uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes requires a personalised plan from your doctor. Typically, treatment starts with Metformin to help your body use insulin better. If your blood sugar remains high, your physician may add other medications, such as SGLT2 inhibitors (e.g., Jardiance), GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Ozempic), or insulin. Please do not self-medicate; your doctor must run blood tests (like HbA1c) to determine the safest options for you. Along with prescribed medication, adopting a low-glycemic diet and engaging in regular exercise are essential steps to help get your blood sugar back under control.
