Blood Sugar Supplements & Medication Interactions
Why people taking medicines should discuss glucose-support supplements with a healthcare professional.
The short answer
NCCIH advises people with diabetes not to take a dietary supplement instead of diabetes medicine. Supplements can have side effects and can interact with medicines; some have also been linked to kidney injury.
What to do instead
Bring the product label and a list of your medicines to a qualified healthcare professional or pharmacist. That allows a person who knows your medical context to assess ingredients, doses and possible interactions.
