Taking Medications and Supplements

Throughout this book I have stressed the importance of understanding how diabetes affects you and how you can affect diabetes through exercise and healthy eating habits. In addition to prescribing exercise and a healthy diet, your doctor may add medications to your plan to optimize your glucose control. In this chapter we take a look at medications that can help you control your glucose levels and how exercise and diet may interact with those medications. In addition, we discuss the use of other medications and supplements that you may encounter and their potential effects on your health.
