My mother is taking multiple medications for her Diabetes?

I am scared of the possibe side effects that she might have on any of these. Since alot of these have the same sideeffects how am i going to know what medication is is

The 2 drugs your mom does not want to take is Actos or Avandia.
They may kill you. Bone fractures, heart problems and what diabetics really don’t need is that they change Bone Stem Cells to Fat Cells.Also can cause blindness.

Can you get diabetes from taking too many different medications?

Is it possible to have not had diabetes your entire life but then you have something happen where you need to take many different medications and from taking all those medications you get diabetes?

There are medications that are more likely to give you diabetes. One of these is steroids either the orals or the injections.
If you already have diabetes, the steroids make it much harder to control your glucose levels when you must take the steroids to live happily.

There are other medications that affect glucose levels, but I am not that acquainted with them. You must look them up on the NIH site and read all the pages of testing those meds had and all the side effects as a matter of seeing which and maybe which combination smacked you on the nose.

i have a question about diabetes and medication?

i have been prescribed metformin for my diabetes and the doctor wants to prescribe a cholesterol lower drug called statins but i don’t have high cholesterol but the doctors said that it will stop me from having a heart attack so how does that work? And i am also on blood pressure medication which is supposed to prevent me from having a heart attack/stroke and i don’t understand this, how does this work?

I refused to take the cholesterol medication because i do not suffer from high cholesterol.

I am also on Blood pressure and cholesterol medications even though these levels are very normal.

We take medication to prevent problems even before they happen.
We brush our teeth to prevent disease. We don’t wait till our teeth are destroyed before we care for them.

Can someone suggest natural cures for diabetes?

I am tired of taking medications for years for my diabetes. As I grow older I want to reduce medication and switchover to natural cures if possible.

Diabetes is not reversible. Please don’t discontinue any medication without discussing it with your doctor, and PLEASE don’t take advice from people who know so little about diabetes that they refer you to bastions of quackery like Mercola and Natural News.

You don’t give your age, and you don’t say whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or whether it’s insulin you are taking.

But in another question you talk about your love of junk food and how you don’t understand how it can be bad for you.

Type 2 diabetes can often be controlled by diet alone; mine is. And junk food has no part in a diet for controlling type 2 diabetes. At my 6 monthly check ups, my average glucose level for the previous 3 months is regularly around 5.2; I don’t know where you live or how that translates, but it’s very good control. But I know that however controlled it is, however low I keep my blood glucose levels – I’ll still always be diabetic.

There are no ‘natural cures’ for diabetes. It’s a bugger; I wish I wasn’t diabetic too, but it’s with me for life. It is for you too. I manage to keep on the straight and narrow by asking myself which I want more, chocolate or my feet? Junk food or my eyesight? No contest. If I had to take medication for diabetes my attitude would be the same.

Please don’t run the risk of uncontrolled diabetes and the dire consequences that can have by abandoning your meds and going for any of the dubious (at best) ‘cures’ that may be recommended here.

What makes you quickly lose some weight once you start diabetes medications?

It’s usually the opposite, you gain weight as your kidneys stop excreting glucose.
