[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1516202, member: 410240"] Sulfonylureas(Glipizide) have most of the same problems as taking insulin. The only two drugs I know of that reduce insulin resistance in a useful way are Metformin and SGLT2 inhibitors(Forxiga) There are a few drugs that stop us adsorbing carbs, but I question if they are better then just not eating the carbs. Research is starting to show the BG levels are not a good predictor of outcomes with diabetes if the BG levels are controlled with drugs other then Metformin and SGLT2 inhibitors(Forxiga). Some people go as far us to say that the only benefit of the other drugs is to make the doctor feel happy as the numbers are "better" on his/her computer..... Clearly very high BG levels must be controlled to protect the eyes etc using whatever brings them down, but too high a level of insulin in our bodies is as harmful as too high a level of BG. [/QUOTE]
