A member asked:

My sugar is getting high i'm now classified as diabetic type2 i cnt take the pills they upset my stomach bad. what are my options?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metformin?: Hi. I presume you're talking about metformin pills. There are great alternatives. What alternative(s) you & your doc decide on depends on how high your A1c & sugars are. I think GLP-1 drugs are great (liraglutide, eventide, & albiglutide); good control effects, no risk of hypoglycemia, and weight loss. SGLT-2 inhibitors are great also for the same reasons. Of course there's always insulin.
