People taking diabetes drugs often develop harsh side effects. This forces them to stop taking the drugs and leaves them unprotected from the damaging effects of high blood sugar.
In order to improve drug compliance, mainstream medicine initiated comprehensive patient educational programs. The objective was to help diabetics manage and control their own treatment regimens.
As a result, diabetic patients are provided with more information than ever before. But it’s not working.
Despite the efforts to educate patients, drug compliance remains low. Why? No one is addressing drug side effects. Well that’s about to change.
Thanks to emerging research, nutritional strategies are now available for preventing the side effects associated with common diabetes drugs.
Supplementing your diet with the nutrients listed below is a major step towards improving drug compliance and optimizing blood sugar control.
Find the drug you’re taking and write down the suggested supplements. Consult with your doctor before starting the supplements.
