Managing Type 2 diabetes requires a personalized treatment plan. Metformin is typically the first-line oral medication prescribed to help lower blood sugar. Depending on your health profile, your doctor might also consider SGLT2 inhibitors (like empagliflozin) or GLP-1 receptor agonists (like semaglutide), which offer cardiovascular and kidney protection, or insulin if needed. Because diabetes medications must be tailored to your specific lab results (like HbA1c and kidney function) and medical history, you must not self-medicate. Please consult your primary care doctor or an endocrinologist to safely get the correct prescription, alongside guidance on diet and exercise.
