Key points
- Metformin, sulfonylureas and DPP-4 inhibitors are not interchangeable and may be used alone or in a clinician-planned combination.
- Regular glucose and longer-term monitoring helps show whether treatment remains safe and effective.
- Severe low blood glucose, marked drowsiness, confusion, vomiting or deep rapid breathing require urgent help.
Select a listed product and pack to order online. Supply depends on stock and destination rules; ask your doctor or pharmacist whether it suits you.
How the medicine groups differ
- Metformin: metformin reduces glucose production by the liver and is commonly considered early in treatment.
- Sulfonylureas: glipizide and glibenclamide increase insulin release and can cause low blood glucose.
- DPP-4 inhibitors: sitagliptin and linagliptin support meal-related insulin responses and usually have a lower risk of low blood glucose when used without insulin or a sulfonylurea.
What these medicines are used for
These medicines may form part of an individual plan for type 2 diabetes mellitus, alongside nutrition, activity and monitoring. They lower blood glucose by different routes, some by improving how the body responds to insulin and others by changing how much glucose the kidneys or gut let through. Several are used in combination, and the choice depends on kidney function, weight and how readings are tracking.
Important safety checks
Kidney or liver problems, pregnancy, frailty and periods of poor food or fluid intake can alter medicine choice. Do not skip meals or change treatment because of a single reading; ask the treating clinician how to handle illness and low readings.
When to seek urgent care
Get urgent help for severe confusion, loss of consciousness, a seizure, repeated vomiting, inability to keep fluids down or deep rapid breathing.
