Many diabetics take large amounts of medications. Some diabetics carry around large cases filled with medications. It is suggested every diabetic purchase the "Physicians Desk Reference" book. It describes medications, their actions, contraindications, warnings, complications, precautions, adverse reactions, and other information.

Diabetics often have many complications. It can be overlooked, but medications can have many side effects and can often be the cause of complications in diabetics rather than diabetes. If the doctor is not examining medication side effects as one possible reason for complications, then the patient may not get relief. For example, several doctors may be seeing the same patient and prescribe drugs that are contraindicated. This can cancel out the effects of some drugs or make others more diminished in effect or not useful. Sometimes drugs can affect other drugs and make them work at a higher level than intended. Another example, sometimes warnings and precautions can indicate types of people that should be cautious in using particular medications, such as people with allergies, or taking antibiotics, or using topical treatments, and so on, and this may be overlooked for diabetic complications.

There are many possible reasons that a doctor may not discover that a particular medication may cause patient problems. The patient may not provide information, the doctor may be unaware of certain adverse reactions, the doctor may not be aware of certain contraindications, and so on.

We suggest that a diabetic own the, "Physicians Desk Reference." Next, list all your medications and the potential side effects, drugs you cannot take at the same time with your medications, and other useful information, using the Physicians Desk Reference. Frequent urination, loss of potency, tired feelings, exhaustion, and many other common symptoms of diabetes can also be the same symptoms that drugs can cause. You can eliminate the drug and replace it with another similar one and often the symptoms will disappear.

In conclusion, many doctors that treat diabetics have only a few minutes with each patient. In this short amount of time the doctor or patient may not communicate all the necessary information each needs. This, along with the doctor's busy schedule, may result in medications that can cause problems. One protection is to own the, "Physicians Desk Reference," and keep a list of side effects and other important information, and check this information if you start to develop symptoms of any kind. You need to be responsible for your own health because in the final analysis only you will experience the frustration, error, and complications from drug medication side effects.
