If your doctor has prescribed diabetes medication to manage your condition, you may want to prepare a list of questions you can ask your doctor or pharmacist about how to manage your medication.
Since diabetes medication help to regulate your blood glucose levels, failing to take them at appropriate times may lead to complications such as hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Ask your pharmacist about medication reminder devices, and learn how to incorporate medication into your daily routine.
While you are on your diabetes medication, let your doctor or pharmacist know what other types of medications you are taking, which may interfere with your diabetes medication. Also, find out if other supplements that you use may affect your diabetes medication.
If your doctor has recommended that you bring down your weight to help regulate your blood glucose levels, seek consultation on how to lose weight appropriately. If you are considering taking medication to help you lose weight, speak to your doctor first if this is the right step for you.
