Hi,
This is Dr. Niroop
I am Sorry About your Problem.
as you are diagnosed with Type 2 DM, this is sure that your pancreas are working. we cant say 100% but to a certain extent, its better.
if you are diagnosed this for the first time, your medication is going to be Tab. METFORMIN 500mg.
take this tab twice daily half an hour before meal. and acutely you no need to worry about your high blood sugar levels.
But in along run you may face problems with other organs and all.
so take care and monitor your sugar levels and maintain below 120mg/dl.
Happy Recovery :)
