In general, it is highly recommended for people with type 2 diabetes to eat healthy and to exercise regularly (lifestyle modification approach). However, if blood sugar levels are not controlled by this approach, the treating doctor may consider diabetes medications that are commonly used to manage this condition. These medications are classified into different groups according to their unique action and how they work to help keeping blood sugar levels under control. The medications also differ in the way they are administered, some of which can be taken orally in a form of tablet whilst others can be injected.
