Stay Healthy
It’s very important for you to take your diabetes medicines exactly as directed. Not taking medications correctly may lower the level of glucose and cause the insulin your body to go up. The medicines then become less effective when taken. Some people report not feeling well as a reason for stopping their medication or not taking it as prescribed. Tell your doctor if your medicines are making you sick. He or she may be able to help you deal with side effects so you can feel better. Don’t just stop taking your medicines, because your health depends on it.
This section provides information about staying healthy with your diabetes.
