What kinds of medicines must not be used by me in Diabetes?

You need to be careful while taking any kind of medicines that can cause a hormonal imbalance in the body. Hence, all steroids, corticosteroids, antidepressants, antibiotics, antihistamines and immuno-suppressants must be taken with care when you have diabetes. Medicines like cough syrups, diuretics, painkillers and the medicines used for the treatment of high blood pressure must also be checked with the doctor as they can increase the content of sugar in the blood. Before taking any medication, it is necessary to get a prescription to a doctor, and let the doctor know you have diabetes.
