Drugs and side effects

Diabetic drugs keep blood sugar down. However, you will have to be on them for life. Worse still, there are side effects. Indeed, in August 2000, the United States Food and Drug Administration asked the manufacturer of the drug Rezulin (troglitazone)-a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus-to remove the product from the market. Severe liver toxicity as a result of drug usage had resulted in deaths.

However there are natural approaches that work remarkably well for those with mild and moderate diabetes.
