It is true that some anti-diabetic medication may cause side effects. But insulin has least side effects.
Metformin: The most common side effects with metformin are nausea, vomiting, gas, bloating, diarrhea and loss of appetite. These symptoms occur in one out of every three patients. These side effects may be severe enough to cause therapy to be discontinued in one out of every 20 patients. These side effects are related to the dose of the medication and may decrease if the dose is reduced.
A serious but rare side effect of metformin is lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis occurs in one out of every 30,000 patients and is fatal in 50% of cases. The symptoms of lactic acidosis are weakness, trouble breathing, abnormal heartbeats, unusual muscle pain, stomach discomfort, light-headedness and feeling cold. Patients at risk for lactic acidosis include those with reduced function of the kidneys or liver, congestive heart failure, severe acute illnesses, and dehydration.
Glimepiride: Common side effects of glimepiride include dizziness, headache, and nausea or vomiting. A rash and allergic reactions also may occur. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can occur during glimepiride therapy. Symptoms of low blood sugar include hunger, nausea, tiredness, perspiration, headache, heart palpitations, numbness around the mouth, tingling in the fingers, tremors, muscle weakness, blurred vision, chilliness, excessive yawning, irritability, confusion, or loss of consciousness.
Glipizide: Side effects include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, and gas. Skin rashes can occur and cause itching, hives, or a diffuse measles-like rash. Rare but serious side effects include hepatitis, jaundice, and a low blood sodium concentration (hyponatremia). Glipizide also may cause hypoglycemia. The risk of hypoglycemia increases when glipizide is combined with other glucose reducing agents.
Pioglitazone: The most common side effects of pioglitazone alone or in combination with sulfonylureas, metformin, or insulin are upper respiratory tract infection, headache, sinusitis, muscle aches, tooth disorders, hypoglycemia, and sore throat.
In addition, dose related fluid accumulation (edema) can occur especially when combined with insulin. Fluid accumulation can worsen or lead to heart failure. Pioglitazone should not be used in patients with heart disease classified by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) as Class III and IV heart failure or symptomatic heart failure.
Fluid accumulation also may lead to macular edema, resulting in reduced vision. Pioglitazone also can reduce red blood cells.
Pioglitazone has been associated with liver injury. Periodic monitoring of liver-related side effects and liver tests should be conducted in patients taking pioglitazone. Side effects while taking pioglitazone which may be due to liver injury include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, anorexia (loss of appetite), or dark urine. Liver blood tests also are recommended during pioglitazone therapy.
Pioglitazone may cause ovulation in women who have stopped ovulating if they are premenopausal and insulin resistant. This may lead to pregnancy. For women (but not men) taking pioglitazone, there is an increased risk of bone fractures of the distal bones of the arm and leg. Patients taking pioglitazone should maintain proper bone health.

Thanks Mr.Gangadharan, I mostly see and read your comments, it is very correct and authenticated but certain people on this forum only suggest different products they must be for their vested interest. I am also diabetic since last 20 years and learnt a lot about it. I totally agree for the suggestions given by you from time to time which are quite helpful to all.
Homeopathy does not work in diabetes beyond a placebo effect.
Please get beck to time tested oral pills or insulin
Allopathy Medicines (Drugs) are mostly derived synthetically and they act on the body by fighting against the germs which cause disease called Organ related treatment. Generally they do not get obsorbed 100%, so the toxic might react as well when stored in the body.
Having B and C vitamins help you flush the toxic and help build immune to your body.
Having a disease requires immediate attention to cure, rather than prolonging to repair, at the same time It is essential to have good nutritious food along with the treatment to have the cellular level development to nurture your cells to improve and maintain.
yes homeopathy medicines don't give any side effects,you should take homeo medicines with empty stomach regularly and reduce the chemical medicines step by step,first consult a homeopathy doctor.
There is no such rule that homepathic medicines should be taken on empty STOMACH.
