Diabetes Medication

Diabetes medications help manage blood sugar levels when the body’s natural insulin response isn’t sufficient. Some drugs, like insulin, replace or supplement the hormone that helps cells absorb sugar for energy. Others, such as metformin, improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin or reduce sugar production in the liver. Different medications work in various ways, and a healthcare provider selects the most appropriate type based on individual needs. Proper medication, combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, helps prevent complications caused by high blood sugar, supporting overall health and well-being.
