subject: Diabetes treatment methods [print this page] Some people usually ask how and of what value is exercising or cutting down on some weight to them when it comes to treating diabetes? Doctors have stated over and over in the past that when you exercise, or engage in some weight loss activity, your body acts in such a way that its response and sensitivity to insulin is augmented. Through this process, the body eventually adapts to begin controlling unnecessary increases in blood sugar within the system. These are some of the basic methods of treating diabetes, though there are others, which can be resorted to when these fail. Often some oral medication is administered in the event that these methods do not bear fruit. In the event that the oral medications do not also succeed, the ultimate treatment is usually using insulin treatment. Type 1 diabetes is commonly cured by using insulin treatments, of which the common ones include DPP-4 inhibitors like Januvia, Incretin, Mimetics such as Byetta and Antihyperglycemic Synthetic Analogs such as Symlin.
