no there are no over-the-counter medications that help lower blood sugar. if you have been diagnosed with diabetes it is important that you still try to see a health care provider for evaluation. depending on your condition you may be eligible for some classes of medications that are available generically and are lower in cost. you want to make sure you do not ignore this because you can end up in the hospital if your diabetes goes untreated. you are on the right track though diet exercise and lifestyle modification are important factors in helping lower blood sugar. i encourage you to visit the american diabetes association web site at www. diabetes. org for more information and tips. talk to your pharmacist too they may be able to help you choose a more cost-effective meter to test your blood sugar at home.
