Older Type 2 Meds

Hi I was on one of these forums. People were discussing older Meds That worked well . I can’t find it it began with R I think? Does anyone have any Idea? Thanks

  1. Hi . I did a search and couldn't find a forum specifically about older medications, but I am guessing metformin was among the medications discussed. Metformin is the oldest type 2 diabetes medication that is still considered effective. It is usually the first medication doctors will prescribe. Here is an article about it: https://type2diabetes.com/treatment/medications/biguanides.
    Maybe this forum post will spur a new discussion of effective older medications.
    I hope this helps. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
