Description
Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes occur due to an immune attack on insulin-producing cells and insulin resistance, respectively. Type 1 diabetes is treated with insulin injections to stabilize insulin levels, whereas type 2 diabetes medications include metformin, sulfonylureas, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists, and others. Type 2 diabetes medications work to boost insulin or lower glucose levels, with pills and injectables. Type 2 diabetic patients with high glucose levels are also recommended for insulin therapy. Both types require regular monitoring and adjustments for effective blood sugar management. However, their prolonged use is known to cause toxicity to other organs. Additionally, they only provide temporary relief, mandating their daily intake.
