i read about it online and they both seem pretty much the same, but the theres got to be a difference.
i also want to know if they are treated the same, that is with the same type of medication?
What are the most popular medications for diabetes, in terms of recent sales, number of patients, or some similar measure? I am interested in data for both oral medications, insulins, and other types of medication. The purpose of the question is to find out which meds out of those available are the most used and the most popular at the present time. I am not looking for treatment advice, and I am not looking for the names of just one or two medications. Thanks!
I am 56 years old, currently on medication for hypertension and diabetes. Still working, but work is rather stressful and thought of resigning. Any advice?
Type 2 diabetics usually require medication to regulate the disease. But the plethora of choices can be overwhelming!Watch More Health Videos at Health Guru: www.healthguru.com
Hi everyone.
My boss just found out her 16 year old daughter has type 1 diabetes. We were all very sad to hear the news. Apparently she will be taking medication everyday for the rest of her life and she has a strict diet to follow. What’s the difference between type 1 and type 2? Also, do people with diabetes have a tendency to be thin and lose a lot of weight because of their diet? Apparently before she was diagnosed, she lost 10 pounds within a month.
How would YOU deal with knowing that you will inevitably become painfully depressed and wacked out manic periodically for no damnn reason the rest of your life?
Medication only extends the periods between episodes and *maybe* makes them milder. Very few end up with no symptoms for life.
FYI: I am med compliant and have no intention of ever not being. Please DO NOT tell me that you are impressed. It’s insulting. I wouldn’t tell someone with diabetes, gee it’s wonderful you take your insulin.
I have type 2 Diabetes and up until about 9 months ago I had really thick, wonderful hair. Now, although it’s not falling out and a faster rate than what is normal, it is getting so thin – not only in the amount of hair I have, but also the actual strands of hair, they seem thinner too.
I noticed this thinning shortly after I started taking 1000 mg of Metformin twice a day for my diabetes.
Has anyone else experienced this?
My father developed Type 1 diabetes about 7 yrs ago due to alcoholism. Now his kidneys are not functioning well even with medication. I am trying to decide if I need to move back to Georgia from Wisconsin depending on how much time he has to live. I want to spend good quality time with him, not sick and suffering time only.
