The secret to managing Diabetes doesn't come in a pill. In most cases, simple lifestyle changes including diet and exercise will do the trick.
Treating, or managing, diabetes is a process of finding a balance. The root causes of the disease — insulin resistance and low insulin production — are slightly different in each person. The role each plays in the development of diabetes is different for each person.
So what works to control glucose levels in one person may not work in another. For one person, managing the disease may be as simple as changing diet and becoming more physically active. Whereas, another patient may need to take medication, a combination of medications, or even insulin to control their blood glucose levels. Finding the right balance is a process.
After diagnosing diabetes, a doctor will usually recommend a patient begin exercising and lose weight. These should continue for life. Metformin, an oral medication, will usually be given to the patient soon after diagnosis.
If after three months a patient’s blood-sugar level has not stabilized, a doctor may prescribe a second or different medication.
