Beta, there is no single 'best' medicine as every body is different. While home remedies like methi seeds and bitter gourd juice help support your health, they cannot replace your daily diabetes pills. Always take what your doctor prescribes after testing your HbA1c.

I have been managing my Type 2 diabetes for the last twenty years now, so trust me, it gets easier. What worked for me was metformin, but my doctor had to adjust the dosage multiple times over the years. Don't worry, just stick to your doctor's advice and keep monitoring your sugars.

Managing both blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes means I have to be extra careful with my pills. Medicine alone won't work unless you walk daily and cut down on salt and sugar. Make sure you get regular kidney and heart checkups along with your sugar tests.

Since diabetes is a lifelong condition, the cost of regular tests and medicines can add up quickly. Ask your doctor for quality generic options like generic metformin if budget is a concern. Also, plan and book your blood tests in packages to save some money.

Between checking my fasting sugars and waking up in the middle of the night to pee, sleep has left the chat. My doctor changed my diabetes meds recently to help manage this better. Honestly, just go get a proper prescription instead of trying to figure it out yourself.
