A member asked:

Which substance can help in lowering the glucose level in blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

For starters: There is insulin, and its varieties that type i patients lack. Type ii patients have plenty of insulin, its just that the cell reptors do not respond to the signal: drugs like metformin and Glipizide help this.
