Why does my medication list keep growing if my condition is "controlled"?
Control and recovery are not the same thing.
I see this pattern frequently. Blood sugar looks acceptable. Blood pressure looks acceptable. Cholesterol looks acceptable. Yet medication burden continues to increase year after year. The numbers may be controlled, but the underlying physiology may not be improving. Remission requires evidence of recovery: improving metabolic health, increasing capacity, and decreasing reliance on medication. The question isn't whether the condition is controlled. The question is whether health is returning.
