No. There are many things that claim to be, but in truth, they don't do much of anything. And some of it can interact badly with the drugs you are taking for your diabetes. I have done my time in the hospital trying alternatives......

Why do anti-diabetic oral medications quit working

Why do anti-diabetic oral medications quit working?
I am a nursing major and am finishing up a final project about type 2 diabetes mellitus, I have one more question and I am stumped! I have looked all over the internet and haven't found a direct answer. So can any one help me? I need to know why oral meds for diabetes lose their effectiveness. (Not speaking about insulin btw, just oral medications.)

The only thing I can think of is that some oral anti-diabetics, like glipizide, work by causing the functioning beta cells in the pancreas to release insulin, which leads to a decrease in blood glucose. Over time, even people with well controlled DM 2 experience a deterioration of beta cells, decreasing the effectiveness of the medication
2 :
your body can come immune to them. if this happens you need to go to the doctor and start a different pill so your diabetes will not go crazy and you get sick.
3 :
Dont worry. first you need courage then treatment and after Pray to GOD. All will be OK. Any way Please visit this page you can all answers about your all questions. Get well soon!!! May God Bless You!!! http://thediabeteszone.com/

Diabetes is a disease that degenerates your body's ability to create/use insulin effectively. As it progresses, it becomes more and more difficult for the meds to control it. That's why so many people with long-time diabetes have to move to using insulin.

^I'm type 2. You probably know, type 2's make insulin but can't utilize it properly. There are many reasons pills become infective, for some there bodies become used to it and build up a tolerance. I was doing great on pills, down to a half a day, then I went through a very stressful year, as the stress got worse, the pills no longer worked, I tried everything including Byetta, nothing worked until I went on an insulin pump, I'm telling you this because stress plays a factor as well. Sometimes there is no answer. I also found this on the site below: Diabetes pills sometimes stop working after a few months or years. The cause is often unknown. This doesn't mean your diabetes is worse. When this happens, oral combination therapy can help. Even if diabetes pills do bring your blood glucose levels near the normal range, you may still need to take insulin if you have a severe infection or need surgery. Pills may not be able to control blood glucose levels during these stressful times when blood glucose levels shoot up
7 :
I am on oral meds for Type 2, aand from what I have read, sometimes a body can build up a resistance to the meds. It depends on what med it is, and the physiology of the specific person. Try looking at the American Diabetes Association website, or Diabetes Forecast (the magazine for the ADA).

Yes it is the same thing, just the technical term
2 :
Yes they are the same. Please.include all types to be thorough and don't forget juvenile diabetes.
3 :
write it on type one and type two and briefly go over gestational. do not include diabetes insipidus. and make sure to make the point that type two is not even diabetes, it's the body not remembering how to use insulin right. totally different disease with a similar treatment ONLY in the further advancements. the rest of us never got the chance to take a pill. if you need help with it email me, i'll do a personal email message on type one you can cite.
4 :
Yes it is the technical term for diabetes. Diabetes is diabetes. Type 1, type 2, and gestational. Useful resources are ADA, About .com, or just google diabetes.
5 :
Yes both are the same also you include type 1 ,2 and gestational
6 :
Yes. I am a diabetic who takes insulin. When my doctor diagnosed me, he told me I was IDDM. (insulin dependent diabetic milletus).

It depends, we don't know what format your bibliography needs to be in. Typically, I would say that they're in APA format. So, here's a website where you can look it up. http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citapa.htm
2 :
Some of the links don't work. but what you do is organize them in alphabetical order. by the author's last name. and if the piece of work doesn't have an author.... then start with the title first. you should do mla format for this, if you can "Author and/or editor names Name of the database, or title of project, book, article Any version numbers available Date of version, revision, or posting Publisher information Date you accessed the material Electronic address, printed between carets ([<, >])."

A 50-year old man who sits at a computer for his work, gets little exercise and is overweight...?
develops diabetes mellitus...which type of diabetes mellitus is it likely to be? Gestational diabetes mellitus Type 1 diabetes mellitus Type 2 diabetes mellitus Rickets Goitre

Type 2 A man can't get gestational diabetes because that's what some PREGNANT women get. Unless HE finds a way to get pregnant he safe there. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune(viral induced??) disease that attacks the pancreas and destroys the insulin creating cells. It has nothing to do with lifestyle Type 2 diabetes has genetic components, lifestyle components and sometimes just happens. It is by far the most common type of diabetes(90% or more) Rickets is a condition deriving from lack of vitamin C. It has to do with bone and nothing to do with diabetes Goitre??Goiters(England spelling perhaps). Anyway, a goiter is an abnormal growth of the thyroid gland. It could be due to a tumor but is more likely to be due to prolonged hypothyroidism. It has nothing to do with diabetes. Hope you get an A on the test. But, it's far more important that you learn this stuff-In my opinion, diabetes is the leading preventable treatable health problem in developed countries.

it was very informative. Maybe you could add some of the results of untreated diabetes. It's the leading cause of amputation in adults. also, eye problems and kidney problems

Long term complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy..? Ways to lower BG by diet and drugs. Differences in the types of insulin, oral and injection and varieties of each (ie lente, short acting, long acting..)

Quick question on diabetes and hypoglycemia

Quick question on diabetes and hypoglycemia?
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes is the lack of response to insulin or no insulin produced. So that would raise blood sugar right? Hyperglycemia? Where does hypoglycemia fall into diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Sometimes too much insulin- too high a dose/not eating/ the diabetes not being very well controlled will cause the blood sugar to drop- causing hypoglycemia.
2 :
While patients who do not have any metabolic problems can complain of symptoms suggestive of low blood sugar, true hypoglycemia usually occurs in patients being treated for diabetes (type 1 and type 2). Patients with pre-diabetes who have insulin resistance can also have low blood sugars on occasion if their high circulating insulin levels are further challenged by a prolonged period of fasting. There are other rare causes for hypoglycemia, such as insulin producing tumors (insulinomas) and certain medications.
3 :
A diabetic has to give insulin via injections and sometimes they can give too much causing sugar levels to drop this can also be done by too much exercise/eating too little/ stress. Hyperglycemia only occurs when there isnt enough insulin in the body :)
