More than 29 million people in the United States have been previously diagnosed with diabetes, and unfortunately, that number grows by approximately 1.4 million annually. What’s the prevalence of diabetes today?
We all know someone who has diabetes. A lot of us even have family members who have been diagnosed with the condition. In the past, children who were often diagnosed with diabetes had Type 1 diabetes with Type 2 diabetes occurring during maturity. Today, snacks and processed foods which are high in simple carbs are eaten by kids on a regular basis. They additionally lead less physically active lifestyles. This has resulted in an increasing number of children being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes than ever before in the United States.
Many people who develop diabetes don’t even realize they have the disease. Of many of these individuals diagnoses, a good majority will probably be given one or more types of diabetes drugs. Some medications help the body become more sensitive to insulin. Others help the body make more insulin on its own.
Metformin is usually the first medication prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes. Sometimes this drug is prescribed as a preventive measure for patients who are considered “borderline” diabetics. Metformin is regarded as the safest option in diabetes drugs and medications. However, it has been recorded to cause vomiting, nausea, breathing difficulty, irregular or slow heartbeat, severe stomach cramps, muscle pain, fatigue, and drowsiness.
Modern medications designed to treat diabetes include:
There is more to be concerned about compared to the known side effects of a drug. The SGLT-2 drug Invokana is a perfect illustration of the true hazards of diabetes medication. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has given the drug a Black Box Warning for the increased risk of leg and foot amputations linked to the drug’s use.
Research repeatedly shows that diabetes drugs may be more hazardous than the actual disease. Diabetes drugs work differently, but they’re all designed to treat the outward signs of the disease. Case studies and research have shown that staying active, eating a healthy diet, and correcting the root causes are the best approach to address and to stop type 2 diabetes. Diabetes medications, on the other hand, can cause acute side-effects while only treating the symptoms.
