specialist. Endocrinologist Francisco Meza Legua regretted that many patients abandon treatment to control diabetes and choose to consume “nutrition products,” when they do not even know what they contain. He warned that its consumption can lead to a fatal outcome.
“Irresponsibly on social networks, there are campaigns demonizing insulin and metformin and promoting ‘natural’ products, which do not even have a health registry, they are preparations of products that will never replace a medication. A patient who uses insulin should not stop taking it, and even less so without prior consultation with his doctor,” mentioned the endocrinologist.
