Pharmaceutical drugs force your blood sugar level down. But what does this do for your health? It does not cure your diabetes. It could make your diabetes worse. And eventually it could kill you.

More later.

Chronic stress is known to cause the blood sugar level to increase. Why? I think that chronic stress is created by the brain in order to increase the blood sugar level when the brain needs extra blood sugar (serum glucose). The brain needs more glucose, and we use pharmaceutical drugs to prevent the brain from getting all the glucose it needs. Pharmaceutical drugs are known to become less effective with time, and it becomes necessary to add new drugs to force the blood sugar level back down. The brain is struggling to raise the blood sugar level back up. One way or another, the brain must win.

What can the brain do if it needs more glucose but we keep the concentration of glucose too low using pharmaceutical drugs? It can increase the blood pressure! By clamping down on the arterioles to restrict the flow of blood so more of it is forced to go towards the brain, and by making the heart pump harder, the brain causes more blood to pass through it faster. Since the concentration of glucose in the blood is too low, the brain compensates by increasing the speed with which the available glucose passes through it. Alas, this desperate measure increases the risk of coronary artery disease and stroke.

In fact, there have been large studies whose intention was to prove that hypoglycemic drugs would improve the health of type 2 diabetics by lowering blood sugars to levels near normal; instead the patients began dying of heart attacks. At least one study was stopped early because of the deaths.
