My mom was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes what can I do to help her?

Treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus includes education, evaluation for micro and macrovascular complications, attempts to achieve near normoglycemia, minimization of cardiovascular and other long term risk factors, and avoidance of drugs that can exacerbate abnormalities of insulin or lipid metabolism.

Metformin In the absence of specific contraindications, we suggest metformin as initial therapy for patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes who are asymptomatic. We begin with 500 mg once daily with the evening meal and, if tolerated, add a second 500 mg dose with breakfast. The dose can be increased slowly (one tablet every one to two weeks) as necessary to reach a total dose of 2000 mg per day.
