assistant
1.  Diet and exercise are essential components of treating diabetes.
2.  Medications such as insulin, oral hypoglycemic agents, and/or glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists may also be used in conjunction with lifestyle changes for better control of blood glucose levels.
3.  In some cases, surgery or other invasive procedures can help reduce the amount of insulin needed by a person with type 1 diabetes.
