If you have type 2 diabetes, you may need medication to help manage your blood sugar levels. There are lots of options. Your GP will help you find the right option based on your unique health needs. Common options include tablets and needles.
Medication doesn’t replace a healthy lifestyle. You will still need to take care of your health and check your blood sugar levels often.
