Do you know any diabetic drug for type 2? i've used onglyza, (saxagliptin) metformin and now glumetza. they all gave me pain.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Type 2 Diabetes meds: There are 6 classes of oral diabetes meds with multiple meds in each class leaving > 20 oral meds to choose from; i'm sure any primary care physician can find ones for you that you will tolerate and control your diabetes. There also several injectable meds not including insulin, which is the most "natural" way to treat diabetes.
