Why The Medication Is Necessary If Blood Tests And Blood Pressure Is Normal?
I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I am a post-menopausal 55 yr old. I have always eaten really healthily, but, had gone from being a gym junkie to being sedentary in the last 5 years...I have now been exercising regularly for 6 months, including boot camp - intense training for the last 4 weeks - I am still slightly overweight. There has been a slight improvement in my blood tests & my blood pressure is now normal, why is medication still necessary?

Hello,
If you withdraw the medicines,then the things can go haywire.
It is better to carry on with your medications as well as exercises and diet restriction.
Think of lowering the doses if blood pressure or sugar levels start falling low.
Till then continue.
Thanks
