Q7- How do lifestyle changes impact diabetes management? @Deji_MaOzi #BeatNCDsChat #Diabetes
There are various types of medications The oral forms which act to either increase insulin sensitivity, stimulate insulin release or some even act on specific carbohydrates to break them down.
The major role of medications in diabetes it to either increase the sensitivity of our body to insulin, to deliver the insulin, this in turn helps to keep the blood glucose controlled and prevent complications.

Diabetes affects body in the following ways High blood sugar damages organs It Affects heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels It Increases risk of: - Heart disease - Stroke - Kidney failure - Blindness - Neuropathy - Amputations

Indeed, it's a source of concern.
