What should I know about diabetes medication?

Understanding your diabetes medication is crucial for effective management. There are different types of medications, including insulin, oral medications, and non-insulin injectables. Each type works differently to help control your blood sugar levels. It's essential to take your medication as prescribed by your GP and to discuss any side effects you may experience. Additionally, be aware of the importance of regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels, as this can help you and your healthcare team adjust your treatment plan if needed. If you have questions about your medication, don’t hesitate to ask your GP or pharmacist.
