How do you know which diabetes medication is right for you without a test?
Are you experiencing diabetes symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, or fatigue? And you can't get it checked out? Wait before taking any medication on your own! 🤔💊
Let's agree that choosing a diabetes medication without a medical examination can be dangerous, and not all cases can start the same treatment! Although many medications are available without a prescription, their indiscriminate use can lead to kidney damage or a severe drop! Here are some important rules to help you if you must temporarily start without a doctor: ❌❌❌: ⛔ If you have type 1 diabetes (which started when you were young or have been taking insulin since day 1), you should not rely on pills! Insulin must be taken under medical supervision.
⛔ If you have type 2 and were recently diagnosed:
Start taking Glucophage 500 mg tablets twice daily with meals.
But do not take it if you have kidney or liver problems!
📜 Egypt: ADA Guidelines
⛔ You do not need to add another medication if your blood sugar is still high after two days!
Medications take time to work. Rushing = dangerous interactions.
📜 Egypt: World Health Organization
⛔ Are you experiencing serious symptoms like ketones in your urine, sudden weight loss, or severe dizziness?
This is a red flag and can only be treated in a hospital.
📜 Month: Mayo Clinic
🌟 Bottom line:
Don't treat your diabetes haphazardly! Even if you have to start temporarily, choose carefully and in small doses, and when you can, see a doctor or pharmacist you trust. Your health is not a game!
