(Diabetes) Q. There are times when I skip meals, should I also skip my medication?

Q. There are times when I skip meals, should I also skip my medication?

 

A. Do not skip meals.
 

 

Diabetic patients are generally advised not to skip meals.

 

Because there is a very high risk of falling into hypoglycemia if you do not eat.

 

If you missed a meal due to unavoidable circumstances, you should not take the medication.

 

Most medications work by suppressing blood sugar spikes caused by food intake.

 

If you only take medication without eating, it can lead to hypoglycemia. This is especially dangerous for people using insulin.

 

Summary: If you skip a meal, skip the medication too!
