In some people, whose body still
produces insulin, but perhaps not enough, they may benefit from taking an oral medication such as Sulfonylureas, Biguanides, Thiazolidinediones, Meglitinides, Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors,
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors or a combination of different pills. Again, oral medications only work in people who are still able to produce insulin. If you are unable to control your
diabetes through the above methods, then your doctor may prescribe insulin shots. Since insulin in a protein, it cannot be given in pill form. Otherwise, the body would break down the pill and
digest it before it would have a chance to be beneficial to your body.
If left untreated, diabetes can
a variety of different adverse affects on the body. It can cause serious damage to your kidneys, heart disease, eye disease and nerve damage. Therefore, it is important to get your diabetes under control as soon as possible.Being diagnosed with diabetes can be a devastating blow. However, with
proper care and some life style changes, you can continue to live a normal, active life.
