Are medicines necessary in general?

Well, yes and no. 

In acute emergency situations such as a heart attack and chronic conditions, especially potentially life threatening such as epilepsy, yes, medicines are an absolute boon. They help the body survive and allow us to live longer lives whilst retaining a sense of normality.

However, in lifestyle conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, no, since medicines were meant to serve as supports to modifications in diet and exercise. They can’t reverse the condition in isolation. 

Some of the most common medicines used in diabetes are

1. Tab Daparyl (dapagliflozin propanediol monohydrate )

2. Tab Vogli 0.3 mg (Voglibose and Metformin)

3. Tab Amaryl 2mg (active ingredient: glimepiride)

4. Tab Reclimet 80/500 mg (Gliclazide and Metformin)

5. Tab Semi Reclimet (Gliclazide and Metformin)

6. Tab Glycomet 500 mg (Glimepiride and Metformin)

7. Tab Glucobay 50 mg (Acarbose and Metformin)

8. Tab Tendia 20 mg (Teneligliptin)

9. Tab Jalra 50 mg. (Vildagliptin)

10. Tab Jardiance 25 mg (active ingredient, empagliflozin)

11. Tab Reclide 40 mg.(Gliclazide)

What is the root cause in Diabetes?

High blood sugar is a symptom of two key underlying causes. 

1. Having inadequate ability to secrete insulin

2. Having sufficient insulin being secreted yet being insulin resistant. 

While the first situation requires a person to take external insulin the second situation can be mostly treated by reducing the underlying  insulin resistance. 

Unfortunately most people keep taking medicines without making the requisite changes to their lifestyle while the root causes remain untreated. This results in complications being simply delayed not denied. 

How does one go off diabetes medications?

The key to living a medicine free life is 3 fold. 

1. Reduce insulin resistance following a customised diet and exercise regimen.

2. Systematically reduce the body’s dependence on medicines to maintain sugar levels and taper them under guidance of a physician.

3. Once the body reverses and stabilizes continue to eat a clean diet and perform daily exercise which will prevent insulin resistance from setting in.
