Consumption Of Diabetes Tablets
Yes, if needed. Generally the rule of thumb is to try the maximum dose or maximum tolerated dose of one group and then combine the second tablet from a different group so that they can work together. But now-a-days we are using combination tablet even from the beginning.
Do they have side-effects?
Every medicine available in the market can have side-effects, so does Diabetes tablets. It is very important that you tolerate medicine, because if you do not tolerate you can not take them for a long time. If you have side-effects, you must make sure that is due to the tablets before stopping. Interestingly, some of the side-effects like indigestion, belching, loose motion with Metformin group of tablet disappear over time, so they should be started with a small dose to get adjusted with your system. Once adjusted, dose can be increased.
Once started, do I need to take them for life?
This all depends on your Diabetes. If your Diabetes is very well controlled, you may try only with diet. If that is fine, why not to control your Diabetes only with diet and life-style measures. But if you see, your control is not good with diet alone, you must accept that your body needs medicine and you should start again. Remember, there is a genuine chance, over the time your requirement of medicine is going to go up as type 2 Diabetes worsens with time.
Initially
I
was
controlled
with
tablets,
but
despite
doing
the
same
things
my
sugar
is
uncontrolled?
This
is
very
common
question
we
face
in
our
daily
practice.
The
reason
for
telling
again
and
again
is
that
modern
research
established
clearly
that
Diabetes
never
remains
the
same.
The
time
for
this
worsening
is
different
for
different
people.
This
is
neither
a
fault
of
yours
nor
your
doctor"s.
If
you
have
looked
after
yourself
very
well,
it
is
very
likely
Diabetes
will
worsen
slowly
and
the
opposite
is
true
as
well.
So,
if
you
find
despite
doing
the
same
thing
your
control
is
slipping,
you
should
modify
the
treatment.
