When your pancreas is "going", taking medications to make it work harder is not necessarily a good idea. It can make Beta Cell Exhaustion occur faster, and cause your pancreas to stop producing insulin more quickly. A "safer" bet would probably be getting on supplemental insulin injections.
To answer the OP’s question, YES, there are many types of diabetic medications out there. I’m on Metformin and find that it works perfectly for me. Each case is different, though. Metformin is one of those drugs that should be considered a supplement to diet and exercise. There is no better treatment for T2 than diet and exercise. Sometimes, you need more than that, but it’s always a good idea to watch your diet and get some exercise! It reduces insulin resistance and makes your body work less to control your BG levels when you’re not consuming so many carbohydrates.
I took Januvia and it didn’t have any affect on lowering my blood sugars. I’ve found Byetta to be affective. I currently take Metformin (works ok) and glyburide. Glyburide is awesome. Ever since I’ve started taking this my sugars have been perfect. I was up around 300 for a while and my doctor told me that my Pancreas was starting to quit so she gave me a script for Glyburide to make it work harder…I never imagined that a couple of days later my fasting sugar would be 89…amazing! But, that’s just my opinion.
