Hello,
The most important part of treatment of diabetes is to keep your blood sugar levels under tight control to avoid future micro as well as macrovascular complication.number and quantity of medications has no relevance and the goal is complete normalisation of blood sugar levels by any number of medications.
Along with blood sugar levels,you should keep a control on blood pressure as well as blood cholesterol levels also.
Along with medications,do regular aerobic exercises or 45 minutes and take proper dietary control measures.
Thanks
