glucofage is another diabetes medicine if you are not insulin dependent

Medicine for the back ache? tylenol? Most meds won't affect diabetes, but she does need insulin for sure if she has type 1

Diabetes type I or type II? The medications are different. She should see a doctor.

See a doctor, better not to ask random people to prescribe something.
