Diabetes Medication Article
Before taking insulin,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you have had an allergic reaction to beef or pork, insulin, or any other drugs.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, including vitamins. Other medications can affect the action of insulin and can cause inaccurate results in urine tests for sugar or ketones. Do not take nonprescription medications, particularly cold and allergy medications, and medications that contain alcohol or sugar without talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had thyroid, liver, or kidney disease or a severe infection.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking insulin, call your doctor.
- if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking insulin.
