Why is it dangerous to stop taking meds for diabetes?

Answer:
There's no trick to it. If you stop taking your medications for diabetes, your sugar will most likely go out of control, and it may go very high indeed. In many diabetics (type 2) this will have few immediate consequences as long as you are eating and drinking well, but will dramatically increase the risk for complications of the disease later on (kidney disease, heart disease, blindness, neuropathy, poor wound healing, possible limb loss, etc.)
In type I diabetics however, there can be more immediate consequences. Without any insulin, these patients may go into DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) which can lead to coma and death if not treated.

Because it can make your sugar levels rise to a dangerous level . Uncontrolled diabetes can cause blindness, kidney damage, nerve damage, and sexual dysfunction just to name a few. Please don't stop taking your medication. See you physician to discuss options to make medication taking easier as well as untoward effects of stopping.

You blood sugar levels will rise, your body will not be able to cope with the levels and then you will go into a coma. your body will also become toxic when it starts trying to get energy it needs (but cannot extract from the blood) from digesting muscle. Ketoacidosis can be fatal.

Because in both a Type I and Type II Diabetic, the pancreas does not function properly. Medication is the key to producing insulin. Without it, your blood sugars will get all out of whack, and can create a whole mess of problems.
