However, to achieve target blood sugar (glucose) levels, you may need medications. The list of medications for type 2 diabetes is long and potentially confusing, as sometimes while a single medication is effective enough, in other cases, a combination may work better.

Insulin Resistance and Diabetes Reversal - Sugar.Fit
Insulin resistance is the condition where the cells in your muscles, body fat, and liver are unable to use insulin effectively because they start resisting or ignoring the signal that the hormone insulin is trying to send to grab or absorb glucose out of the bloodstream for energy. Glucose, also known as blood sugar, is the body's main source of fuel. When the cells resist and don't absorb glucose, levels of this sugar build up in the blood causing higher blood sugar and insulin levels, potentially leading to type 2 diabetes.
