Is it common to be one several drugs to lower blood sugars?
It seems like my Dr just keeps adding more and more diabetes medications instead of trying to find out why they are not working.
My doctor would always cycle different meds. Never have I been put on multiple drugs. 
– That does seem frustrating to keep adding more and more treatments. According to our most recent Type 2 Diabetes In America survey, some folks do take multiple diabetes medications at a time, such as metformin and an additional oral medication or insulin. You can see more here: https://type2diabetes.com/infographic/diabetes-personal-decisions, under the "Finding your way with treatment and medication" heading, though it doesn't really explain why one's doctor may try to go that route, know that you're at least not alone. I echo Liz's thoughts on just checking with your doctor to ask about the rationale if possible. Best, Minel (Team Member)
