18: Deprescribing Diabetes Medications

Type 2 Diabetes Talk

03/26/24 • 26 min

This episode marks the final installment of our Medication March series, where we've been empowering you to take control of your diabetes health. This journey has been about more than just understanding medications; it's about equipping you with the knowledge to make informed health decisions and to have the all important conversation about medications with your doctor and healthcare team.
Today, we delve into the effectiveness of various glucose-lowering medications, revisit the importance of knowing the risks versus benefits, and discuss overtreatment and overprescription of meds. Most importantly, we explore the concept of deprescribing, including the evidence on deprescribing in type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. It's crucial for you to understand that while diabetes medications can play a role, a healthy lifestyle, particularly nutrition, often has a more significant impact on your diabetes management.
You might be wondering if it's possible to reduce or even stop certain diabetes medications. The answer is yes. Deprescribing, especially for those with stable or low A1c levels ≤7%, can be a beneficial strategy, as the evidence clearly describes.
Although there are obstacles in the healthcare system, you are at the center of your own diabetes health. Remember, every visit to your doctor is an opportunity for you to take charge. Ask about your medications and whether any can be reduced or eliminated. If a new medication is suggested, inquire about its necessity and possible alternatives.
By being proactive and informed. Stay empowered and remember, you're not alone in this journey!
