Many options: While many guidelines call for metformin as the first medication to try in someone with type 2 diabetes, there are many other options, and one of them may be best for any individual. A doctor familiar with your situation can help make the best decision for you. For someone with type 1 diabetes, Insulin is needed immediately, and usually the only medication needed.
