Is there a medication for quickly regulating blood sugar?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I gained a lot of weight over the holidays, and now I am in the obesity range. My recent blood work shows that I am diabetic, which is worrying because I have never been this heavy before. I am wondering if my weight is causing my high blood sugar. If I lose some weight, will my blood sugar return to normal? I am really stressed and looking for a way to get things under control. Is there a medication that can help me see quick results? I am 47 years old, and I just want to feel healthy again.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
-
Obesity increases the risk of diabetes.
-
Losing weight will help lower your blood sugar levels.
-
However, do not wait to start diabetes treatment. Begin the treatment now, and once you lose weight and your blood sugar improves, we can reduce your medications.
-
There are new diabetes medications that can help with both weight loss and blood sugar control.
-
Please send me your reports so I can review them and recommend the right medications.
-
Also, provide your height, weight, and BMI (body mass index) to help me select the best medications for you.
I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq.
Thank you.
