These are used if the glucose level is not too high and can be controlled easily. Other than that there are some pills that are used so that the blood sugar level is controlled. But they are not the pills that contain insulin. There are some pills that are used for controlling weight as they play a major role in burning out of fats. In some cases pills work only if there is a minor production of insulin.

There are various levels in which these medicines work as they enter into the blood stream directly. For the transfer of the extra glucose from the blood stream to the cells there is a requirement of appropriate production of insulin. The medicines work as an agent for controlling of sugar level. As the intake of alcohol is not favorable for the patients with diabetes it is advised that the intake of alcohol should be limited as it can hamper the effect of the medicines.

There are some side effects that are associated with the medicines like the occurrence of diarrhea or problems with the liver. Some medicines try to break the sugar and starches in the intestine so that by the time it enters into the blood stream there is a control on it.
