Ok so Im trolling my facebook diabetes groups on my lunch break and come across one with someone stating a pharmacist refused to give her a decongestant because she has diabetes?!
Huh? Refused because of Diabetes?
So I did some looking, did you guys even know there was the risk that decongestants can raise your blood glucose levels? For most people its not a big deal, I read. Ok......
I had no idea.
Type 1 for nearly 14 years and no one person or medical professional ever mentioned this to me.
None.
Now I want to do a test and see if they raise my bg just for fun.
Now Im curious to see what it does to me. Im only ever taking them when Im sick so I should see if non-sick they raise my bg.
How did I not know this before?
My mind is stunned.
Did any of you know this? Is this like general knowledge? I guess its on the label, but jeeze a lot of things say Diabetics should use caution when using this, or what not. I kind of just ignore those and figure its for Diabetics with kidney issues.
