Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic condition brought on by either insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or inefficient insulin utilization by the body or both. A hormone called insulin controls blood sugar. Multiple co-morbidities can arise as a result of the progressive nature of diabetes, necessitating the use of numerous medications. As one or more medications may be used to treat each ailment, the older population with multimorbidity frequently uses many medications, also known as polypharmacy. Due to polypharmacy, harmful medication interactions, and food-drug interactions can occur. Because of the numerous co-morbidities that already exist, there is an increasing tendency of prescribing polypharmacy.
