Safety Advice
Diabetes medications can have interactions with other medications or supplements being used. Use of more than one diabetes medication can increase the risk for hypoglycemia. Antihypertensive medications can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Some medications may also cause side effects, including nausea and upset stomach, especially when you first start taking them. Talk to your doctor about possible side effects of any medications you are prescribed to manage your diabetes.
