Is your medication doing more than just lowering your blood sugar? đ¤˘
Diabetes meds are lifesavers, but letâs be honest: the side effects can be exhausting. Whether itâs the "Metformin tummy," GLP-1 nausea, or joint pain, you don't have to just "tough it out."
The goal is better health, not feeling miserable. Understanding these signals helps you and your doctor find the perfect balance.
Take charge of your treatment:
đ Log it: Keep a symptom diary. Note when you feel "off" relative to your dose.
đ Donât DIY: Never stop or change your meds on your ownâsafety first!
đ
Review it: Book an annual medication review. You might be eligible for a different dose or a newer alternative that fits your body better.
Proper hydration and sleep can also help your meds work more effectively. You deserve to feel good while staying healthy!
