You can not simplify diabetes management to which is the best and cheapest drug.  There are different classes of diabetes pills and insulins that work in different ways.  They are selected based on your individual situation - ie are you skinny or fat?  do you have liver disease or kidney problems?  what other medications do you take that may interact? how bad off is your diabetes to begin with?  these are all questions that need to be addressed regardless of which country you are in.

There is no cure for diabetes.  Only medication to treat the disease.  You should talk to your doctor about diet, exercise, etc to help keep your blood sugar from the extreme highs and lows.  \n\nThere are NO herbal or homeopathic medicines for diabetes.  If you come across one that says that their products will CURE it......it's a lie.  These companies get in big trouble all the time for putting out those false claims.  People, who are desperate, will believe that and stop their medications believing in the "cure"....which doesn't exist.  Some of them die, but they all become very sick.

I do not live in Texas, but I think I can give you some general information that will help you and your friend out. \n\nA starting point for securing services at lower charges or for referral to participating organizations is the doctor's office. Talk to your primary care doctor about your situation. He / she can more than likely give you some help on the spot or at least steer you in the right direction of someone who can help you. Ask for free samples of medication. Doctor's offices have these on hand and they are there for the taking if you will just ask. My doctor does this for me and it helps me out by around $300 a month. He / she may not be able to give you all your medications all the time, but every little bit helps. \n\nThe second place to check would be your local health department. Medical services at most state-operated health departments are offered at little or no cost to the patient, based on income. There is probably also a pharmacy assistance program there that can help out with meds. And, as an added bonus, you and your friend could get lots of great (free) information on diabetes. There are health educators and nurses there who specialize in diabetes and their services are usually free, so check it out. \n\nAnother place would be to check with your local social services office. Here you can learn about medical assistance based on your income. They can probably refer you to several other valuable diabetes resources in your area. \n\nI wish you the best of luck with all this and I think it's great that you are asking questions to help your friend. Diabetes can be hard to live with sometimes, so think about checking out a support group if you get a chance. Most hospitals will offer these (usually free) and they are a great resource to utilize. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

The study originally reported in 2002 that diuretics were more beneficial as initial treatment for high blood pressure for protecting against adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This latest analysis shows that even among diabetics and those with mildly elevated fasting glucose � a sign of pre-diabetes � the less costly diuretics are at least as effective, may be more beneficial for some people. \n\nAbout 73 percent of adults with diabetes have high blood pressure � which in diabetic patients is defined as greater than or equal to 130/80 mm Hg � or use prescription medications for their hypertension. Both diabetes and high blood pressure are major risk factors for coronary heart disease, and when both are present, significantly increase the risk for developing heart and kidney diseases. High blood pressure can lead to congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart is weakened and cannot pump enough blood throughout the body. \n\n�Controlling high blood pressure is an urgent concern especially for people with diabetes. Our findings demonstrate the advantages of diuretics in diabetics as well as in those with impaired and normal fasting glucose levels,� said NHLBI director Dr. Elizabeth G. Nabel. �As a physician, I have seen the consequences of poorly controlled hypertension and diabetes. These results show many people and their families can be spared that devastation.� \n\nThe ALLHAT blood pressure study was a randomized, double-blind trial involving 42,418 participants with high blood pressure, ages 55 and older. Of those, 31,512 participants were randomly assigned to a diuretic (chlorthalidone); a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine); an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (lisinopril). 13,101 had diabetes, 1,399 had elevated fasting glucose and 17,012 had normal glucose levels. \n\nCompared with the ACE inhibitor and the calcium channel blocker, the diuretic was: \nMore protective against congestive heart failure in patients both with and without diabetes (by about 1/6 compared with the ACE-inhibitor, and by about 1/3 compared with the calcium channel blocker). \n\n\nMore effective in lowering systolic blood pressure � the measure of blood pressure when the heart beats � among those with and without diabetes. \n\n\nAt least equally protective against fatal coronary heart disease or non-fatal heart attacks in people with diabetes, those with elevated fasting glucose, and non-diabetics. \n\n\nEqually protective against death from all causes, end-stage kidney disease, or cancer in people with diabetes, those with elevated fasting glucose, and non-diabetics. \n\n\nIn Black study participants, more protective against stroke in people with and without diabetes (compared with the ACE-inhibitor). \n\n\n\n�This study shows the advantage of diuretics for preventing congestive heart failure in most people with high blood pressure � regardless of diabetes status. Because some patients may respond differently to medications, they should discuss these results and their treatment with their doctors before making any changes�, advises Dr. Jeffrey Cutler, NHLBI Senior Adviser. \n\nThere were more heart attacks among participants with impaired fasting glucose taking the calcium channel blocker compared with those taking the

I think you are a bit confused. You think that a cure exists and it is being hidden?\n\nType II Diabetes, which used to be called adult-onset diabetes, almost always results from lack of exercise and obesity. It can be easily prevented by controlling one's weight and by exercising. Even people who have it can often "cure" themselves by exercising and eating sensibly. This is far easier than waiting for some magical medicine or treatment to appear. \n\nType I diabetes appears to be an autoimmune disease. We are slowly understanding the immune system, but it is very complicated and we are making only slow progress against many of them, like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, etc. With so many diseases to deal with, it is hard to know which diseases to put our scarce research resources towards. Everyone believes that the disease they are personally most interested in is the the most important.

I cannot think of any herbal remedies that could help with diabetes.  \n\nTraditional meds (Glucophage, Metformin, to name a couple) are well-proven, quite effective, and most likely your best bet, along with a balanced diet and some moderate exercise.

First of all you must understan that there are 2 types of diabetes.\n   Type one: The body does not produce any insulin. The most hopeful cure is islet cell transplants. This is done by injecting islet cells from a cadaver into the pancreas of the individual with type 1 diabetes. The process needs cells from about 10 cadavers and now is about 70-80% effective for eliminating the need to use insulin.\n   Type 2 diabetes has a few causes. The body does not produce enough insulin or the body does not use insulin effectivley. There is some medication and insulin available to control this.\n   Either one of these can develop from a family history or by living a certain lifestyle. The best way to control, delay and or prevent this is from proper dietary habits. Portion control,eating healthy foods and exercise are still the best options.

You CAN'T cure diabetes, Type I or Type II. The only thing you can do is lose weight and follow a proper diet in hopes of not progressing into an insulin dependent Type II DM.
