Key points
- Insulin is essential for type 1 diabetes, since the pancreas does not make its own supply.
- Oral medicines for type 2 diabetes span several different classes, each lowering blood glucose by its own mechanism.
- SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists are considered for cardiovascular and kidney effects, not glucose control alone, under current NICE guidance.
- Combination tablets, such as Actoplus Met and Jentadueto Xr, pair metformin with a second glucose-lowering ingredient in one dose.
Tablets, combinations and insulin in this range
Metformin tablets treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, taken alone or combined with a second ingredient in tablets such as Glucovance, Jentadueto Xr and Actoplus Met.
Newer classes include SGLT-2 inhibitors, such as Empagliflozin and Dapasmart, and DPP-4 inhibitors, such as Linagliptin and Tradjenta, distinguished from older sulfonylurea tablets like Amaryl and Glucotrol Xl.
Insulin Glargine Injection is the direct insulin option in this range, given by injection. Rybelsus delivers oral semaglutide, and Victoza delivers injectable liraglutide, both for type 2 diabetes.
