Complications unless: This depends on how bad your diabetes is & what other measures you are using to control it. If you stop your meds your sugars will likely go higher & over time this leads to increased risk of serious complications such as heart disease, blindness, kidney failure & early death. However, it is often possible to control diabetes with diet, exercise & supplements. Why do you want to stop? See comment:.
