SPEAKER: Most often,

before turning to insulin

to treat your type 2 diabetes,

your doctor may recommend a pill

or an injectable medication

first.

The most common option

is metformin.,

It lowers the amount of sugar

made by your liver,

decreases the amount of sugar

absorbed from your gut,

and improves how your cells

respond to and use sugar.

There are newer, non insulin

treatments available.,

SGLT2 inhibitors stop

your kidneys from reabsorbing

sugar as they filter your blood,

so it releases sugar

in your urine.,

Other oral drugs like DPP-4

inhibitors work by telling

your pancreas to release more

insulin at mealtimes

and reduce the release

of glucose from your liver.

GLP-1 receptor agonists, a class

of injectable medications,

help increase your insulin

levels when you eat.,

Aber diese Medikamente haben den zusätzlichen

Effekt der Verlangsamung

Verdauung, Begrenzung, wie viel

Zucker Ihre Leber fügt

ihr Blutkreislauf,

und kann dazu beitragen, dass Sie sich satt fühlen.,

These medications not only help

you control your blood sugar,

they reduce your risk

of other complications

from diabetes.
