{"id":3231,"count":52,"description":"Type&nbsp;2 diabetes affects more than 530&nbsp;million adults worldwide and is now the leading cause of preventable blindness, end-stage renal failure, and non-traumatic limb amputation. Tight glycaemic control reduces microvascular complications by 25&ndash;40%; modern agents (SGLT-2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, dual PPAR agonists) also cut cardiovascular and renal events independently of HbA1c. MedsBase carries 51 oral and injectable diabetes medications across every major drug class, supplied by WHO-GMP certified manufacturers, with discreet worldwide shipping.\n\n<strong>Biguanides &mdash; metformin (first-line).<\/strong> Metformin lowers HbA1c by ~1.0&ndash;1.5 points, is weight-neutral or weight-losing, has a low hypoglycaemia risk, and is on the WHO Essential Medicines List. We stock metformin sustained-release as <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/biciphage-1000-sr\/\">Biciphage 1000 SR<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/glycomet-sr\/\">Glycomet SR<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/diabetrol-sr\/\">Diabetrol SR<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/metford\/\">Metford<\/a> &mdash; all once-daily SR formulations chosen for better GI tolerability than IR tablets.\n\n<strong>Sulfonylureas &mdash; second-line oral secretagogues.<\/strong> SUs work by closing pancreatic K-ATP channels and forcing insulin release; they cut HbA1c by 1.0&ndash;1.5 points but carry hypoglycaemia and weight-gain risk. We carry the second-generation glimepiride (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/amaryl\/\">Amaryl<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/glimda\/\">Glimda<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/glimith\/\">Glimith<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/glypride\/\">5 mg, 10 mg<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/healmaryl\/\">Healmaryl<\/a>), gliclazide MR (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/glide\/\">Glide<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/glizid\/\">Glizid<\/a>) &mdash; the lowest-hypoglycaemia SU and preferred in older patients &mdash; the older glibenclamide\/glyburide (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/daonil\/\">Daonil<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/glybovin\/\">Glybovin<\/a>), and glipizide (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/glynase\/\">Glynase<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/glynase-xl\/\">Glynase XL<\/a>).\n\n<strong>SU + metformin fixed-dose combinations.<\/strong> Once metformin alone fails to maintain HbA1c &lt;7%, an SU is the cheapest and most studied add-on.

Carries weight-gain, fluid retention, and bone-fracture risk; not for use in heart failure. We stock pioglitazone monotherapy (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/pioz-15\/\">Lipvas<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/p-glitz\/\">P-Glitz<\/a>) and pioglitazone-based combinations (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/cyblex-mv\/\">Cyblex MV<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/glycoheal\/\">Glycoheal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/pioglit-mf-forte\/\">Pioglit MF Forte<\/a>).\n\n<strong>DPP-4 inhibitors (gliptins) &mdash; weight-neutral, low hypoglycaemia.<\/strong> Block degradation of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP, prolonging post-meal insulin release. HbA1c reduction is modest (~0.5&ndash;0.8 points) but tolerability is excellent. We carry sitagliptin (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/januvia\/\">Januvia<\/a>) and its metformin combination (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/janumet\/\">Janumet<\/a>), vildagliptin (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/galvus\/\">Galvus<\/a>), saxagliptin (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/onglyza\/\">Onglyza<\/a>), linagliptin (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/trajenta\/\">Trajenta<\/a>) and its combination (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/trajenta-duo\/\">Trajenta Duo<\/a>), and teneligliptin (<a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/ziten\/\">Ziten<\/a>).\n\n<strong>SGLT-2 inhibitors &mdash; cardio- and reno-protective beyond glycaemia.<\/strong> Block renal glucose reabsorption, causing urinary glucose loss. Reduce major adverse cardiovascular events, heart-failure hospitalisations, and progression of chronic kidney disease independently of HbA1c effect; recommended add-on for any patient with established CV disease, heart failure, or CKD. Class risks include genital mycotic infections and (rare) euglycaemic ketoacidosis.

HbA1c reduction is modest (0.5&ndash;0.8 points) but post-meal glucose drops sharply.
