Insulin
Administration of insulin reduces blood glucose levels, and very few people with type 2 diabetes need insulin. Insulin is mainly used when drugs fail to regulate blood glucose levels. The dose and kind of insulin used depend on how complicated the condition is; sometimes it is used alone. However, it is mainly used with other drugs such as metformin and sulfonylurea. Doctors and nurses always give detailed advices on how to use insulin. Weight gain is a common side effect of insulin. However, when used in combination with other drugs, it reduces its side effect. Hypoglycemia [7] is also a side effect of using insulin.
Conclusion
Although diabetes cannot be eradicated entirely, it can be treated or managed successfully. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes reduce when the blood glucose level is reduced.
