Can diabetics stop taking their medication?

For diabetic patients, in principle, medication cannot be discontinued because for patients taking medication, whether they are taking oral hypoglycemic drugs or using insulin, it often suggests that the condition requires medication, that is, for patients with insulin deficiency and insulin resistance, it is difficult to bring blood glucose up to standard simply through diet and exercise, and it is only in such cases that medication needs to be initiated. For the central aspects of insulin deficiency and insulin resistance, medication is mainly to lower blood glucose, improve symptoms and delay the progress of the disease, but the medication itself cannot cure diabetes, especially for patients with insulin deficiency, as the patient ages, the failure of pancreatic islet function will gradually become obvious, and in this case insulin deficiency will be more significant. Therefore, if patients who use the medication stop it on their own, it can lead to a recurrence of the disease, which can make the overall control of blood sugar even worse, thus reducing the quality of life.
