[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2255781, member: 21149"] Hi. The best glucose lowering 'agent' is a low-carb diet. There are various tablets that can help including Metformin. Sulphonyl ureas such as Gliclazide and also insulin stimulate insulin production but this may be counterproductive if you are an overweight T2 as you will already have too much insulin but unable to use it efficiently. It's worth noting that Sulphonyl ureas and insulin do not cause weight gain. What they do is enable the body to produce more insulin and if too many carbs are eaten they enable the body to metabolise those carbs and store the glucose as fat if it's not needed. [/QUOTE]
