Diabetic Medication

Sometimes a healthy diet and exercise just aren't enough to maintain your bodies blood sugar levels. Here are a few of the most common Diabetic Medications.

Insulin - Most people that have diabetes will take insulin to control their blood sugar (glucose). Unfortunately, insulin cannot be taken orally (mouth) because the enzymes used in your stomach for digestion would destroy it. For those who need insulin, most just get insulin shots. Other ways to take insulin include insulin jet injectors, insulin pumps and insulin pens. In the near future, needle injections will hopefully be a thing of the past. Researchers are testing new ways to deliver insulin into the bodies bloodstream.

Vanadium - Vanadium is a essential mineral that can be found in the earths soil and in many foods. It can also be released into the air by burning petroleum or petroleum products. In a number of human and animal studies, vanadyl sulfate has improved the bodies response to insulin sensitivity and reduced the bodies blood sugar levels in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
