Best Medical Treatment for Diabetes
Some people who have diabetes can achieve their
target blood sugar levels with diet and exercise
alone, but many also need diabetes medications or
insulin therapy.   There is no cure for diabetes,
so treatment aims to keep your blood glucose
levels as normal as possible and to control your
symptoms to prevent health problems developing
later in life.

(long-acting), some last up to eight hours
(short-acting) and some work quickly but do not
last very long (rapid-acting).

Insulin Injections You will probably need
insulin injections. Insulin must be injected,
because if it were taken as a tablet, it would be
broken down in your stomach Insulin injections
are usually given by an injection pen, which is
also known as an insulin pen or auto-injector.
However, injections are sometimes given using a
syringe. Most people need two to four injections
a day

Insulin Pump Therapy Insulin pump therapy is an
alternative to injecting insulin. An insulin pump
is a small device that holds insulin and is about
the size of a pack of playing cards.

diet and reducing your fat intake, particularly
saturated fat choose foods that are low in
fat  replace butter, ghee and coconut oil with
low fat spreads and vegetable oil eat fruit,
unsalted nuts and low fat yoghurts as snacks
instead of cakes, biscuits, bombay mix or crisps

Weight Losing 5-10 of your overall body weight
