Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. It is difficult to answer question without having important specific details like serum creatinine, urea and protein levels in urine. Plus there is no mention of fasting, pp glucose levels as well as hba1c%. If you are on insulin degludec, then glucose levels can be very well controlled by increasing the dosage in relation to the fasting and pp glucose levels. It is also possible to add a pre-prandial (before breakfast or...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
There are different medicines available for treating diabetes, which includes older drugs like Glimiperide, metformin cobinations, some DPP - IV inhibitors and many types of insulins. Some newer drugs like Degludec Insulin and Dapagliflozin are definitely more (very) expensive. Some doctors prefer those because there is a feeling that these drugs give better control or at times influenced by pharma companies. Since you are already under the treatment b any altern...more

In t2 dm there is insulin resistance but there are no antibodies against it. Insulin resistance can be reduced by maintaining near normal body weight and a bmi of 23kg/m2. Exercising for more than 1 h a day is a good method of improving insulin resistance. Drugs like metformin and pioglitazone also help in reducing the resistance.

Mr. Lybrate-user, if you have t1 dm, then only treatment is insulin injection, no other option. If you have t2 dm and still you have been given insulin that means your diabetes must have been really in bad control. Diabetes occurs either due to lack of insulin or resistance to its action (t2 dm), or due to total absence (t1dm). Best medicine for diabetes in fact is insulin, it has no real side effects, our own islets of langerhans in pancreas produce it.
