How Do I Treat Type 2 Diabetes?

T2DM is most effectively treated by losing weight, eating a healthy, well balanced diet, regular exercise, and, if needed, taking medications to help your body produce, or use, insulin correctly.

The type and amount of medication you need will be determined by your doctor and is based upon your age, weight, diet, exercise and other diseases you may have such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
