How Do You Treat Type 2 Diabetes?

There’s no cure, but you can manage it with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and sometimes medication or insulin if needed.

  • Lifestyle Changes: Weight loss, healthy eating, and regular exercise can help manage blood sugar.
  • Medication: If lifestyle changes aren’t enough, medications like metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin might be needed.
  • Surgery: Weight loss surgery can help some people by reducing weight and improving diabetes control.
  • Alternative Treatments: There’s not much evidence that supplements or alternative treatments are effective, so always check with your doctor first.
