I show some of the signs of diabetes, including a high trigltriglycerides test years years ago. I’ve never been formally treated or even diagnosed with actual diabetes. However, I changed my diet and immediately lost a lot of weight. My blood pressure returned to perfect and my diabetes symptoms disappeared. I’ll take that over meds any day!
Thank you for this important article for anyone on multiple medications or whose loved ones are.
Such polypharmacy likely killed my mom years ago. She loved her doctor because he was so "thorough and attentive." But he put her on at least a dozen medications, many to counteract the adverse effects of others. She declined rapidly on all those meds and was not willing to seek a second opinion or insist on taking fewer pills.
Every week she spent a couple of hours (maybe more), sorting out the pills she had to take each day -- often having to start all over again if she lost count, dropped a pill, or had trouble discerning one look-alike pill from another. She constantly worried about the costs and the Medicare "doughnut hole."
It was heartbreaking to see her go downhill. Yes, she suffered from a lifetime of smoking, several back surgeries, and other ailments, but I think the drugs and pain meds made her quality of life worse and could have hastened her death.)\
I wish doctors didn't get mad at you for not wanting to take a drug for everything!
