If you have type 1 diabetes you have to take insulin as there is deficiency of insulin in the body that is why it is called insulin dependent diabetes. If it is type 2 where there is resistance to insulin medicines are better and effective choice in most of the patients. As a diabetic has to control his blood sugar to avoid its complications there is hardly any room to think about side effect though your doctor always tries to give you medicine with minimal side effects and which are best for you.

It is more wise to take the practical approach and avoid confusion. Insulin or the tablets are given based on the individuals need. Your doctor can explain the logic behind the treatment if you ask for it. Kindly read about the importance of a healthy lifestyle ( and maintaing the discipline ) so that the medicines work at the optimum level. Adapt a healthy lifestyle in your routine life and aim for good health.
