There are a variety of medications that can be prescribed by a doctor to improve your condition. For those that face pre-diabetic conditions, the first goal will be to treat the condition with weight loss, exercise and dietary changes as this may be all that is necessary. For others, medication is necessary.
Either a single medication may be used or a combination of them, depending on your individual health needs and other conditions you may have.
Some will slow the absorption of sugars into your bloodstream after you eat. Others help by limiting the amount of sugar that is released into your bloodstream by your liver specifically. Inhibitors are used to block enzymes that can break down specific proteins which in turn cause your body to release insulin into your body.
Other medications work by improving the stimulation that your pancreas gets to release more insulin or can enhance the way that your tissue reacts in order to become more sensitive to insulin.
Doctors also look at other health conditions you may be experiencing. If they feel that one medication may be better for you, and you aren’t sure why, ask.
There is no doubt that the need for medications is very real and in most cases is something that can not be avoided. Indeed, if you are taking them you should never stop taking them without talking to your doctor beforehand as side effects can be extreme.
Yet, there may be some methods to improving your body’s blood sugar level through other treatments other than medications.
