Diabetic patients should be alert to drug interactions. If you suffer from multiple diseases — meaning you have diabetes as well as other health conditions — and take multiple medications, you must follow your doctor’s instructions to avoid harmful drug interactions.
Diabetic patients should never self-medicate or take drugs based solely on a friend’s recommendation. Since there are distinct differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, random use of medication is especially dangerous.
The harm of abusing medications is unpredictable. You should only take medicines safely and as advised by your doctor.
