Q & A : Diabetes Medications Losing Effectiveness

Dr. Mezitis Replies to Your Questions: 


My mother has been a diabetic for the past 20 years and has been taking the same medications over a long period of time. Will the medicines lose their effectiveness after some time?


Medications prescribed for diabetes target a variety of organs including the pancreas in order to improve blood glucose levels. If lifestyle changes are not made, the medications may either lose their efficacy or higher doses will be required to control blood glucose.
