Treatments for Type 2 Diabetes Health Patient UK: "Treatments for Type 2 Diabetes
The 'first-line' treatment for type 2 diabetes is diet, weight control and physical activity. If your blood glucose level remains high despite a trial of these lifestyle measures then tablets to reduce the blood glucose level are usually advised. Insulin injections are needed in some cases if the blood glucose level remains too high despite taking tablets. Treatments for other related problems may also be advised.


This leaflet mainly discusses treatments that can lower the blood glucose level. It briefly mentions other treatments that may also be advised if you have type 2 diabetes. See separate leaflet called 'Diabetes Type 2' for more general information about this condition."
