Treatment

[mohan48]

I am a 67 years old diabetic. Was prescribed Lanctus insulin plus glucored forte 10 years back. Since a few years back I felt that the Tablets were not working I stopped the tablets and continued with a larger single dose of Lanctus (self medication). I strongly feel that the tablets are only to help squeezing  insulin from the pancreas but when the pancreas has almost stopped working what is the use ? Am I right ?

If you use powerful medicines to control a condition whilst continuing a lifestyle that caused that condition then a poor outlook is assured. Doubling up with self medication and guessing the outcome is insanity!

Change the lifestyle, change the outcome. Your diet has got you to where you are - change it!

Please do not change or alter any medication without the advice of your physician. Still time to catch up.
