Diabetes: 4 Reasons Why Your Blood Sugar Isn’t Under Control

“Sugar-based medications can be stopped temporarily or, in some cases, permanently. But it all depends on individual lifestyle and diet. A regular exercise regimen low in refined carbohydrates, high in protein and moderate fat, body weight appropriate for height and age can help a person stop taking medication, but only by consultation with a doctor,” says Dr. Tushar Tayal, Senior Consultant, Department of Internal Medicine, CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram.

“Medication should be continued even if sugars are under control because a diabetic person is usually insulin resistant or deficient and a healthy lifestyle and medication keep sugar under control. Uncontrolled blood sugar will continue to deplete the cells of proof of insulin in your body,” he adds.
