I've been on 60's some different medication where it affected me in some way and I am tired or it I been on last couple ones that mess with my acid reflux where it almost close my wind pipe up i just need some help if anyone can help me

  1. Hi . My heart goes out to you. Unfortunately, we are not medical experts, so we can't reallly make any recommendations about specific medications. Do you see your primary care doctor or an endocrinologist? If you see your primary care doctor, I wonder if it would help to see a doctor who specialize in the endocrine system for your diabetes instead. How high is your A1C? Do you think you might be able to bring it down with dietary and lifestyle changes? If so, a registered dietician who specializes in diabetes could help. You mentioned acid reflux. Have you talked with your gastroenterologist about your issues with diabetes medications? Your pharmacist can be a great source of information as well. Pharmacists are often quite knowledgeable about the side effects of medications. I wish I had better answers, but I hope this helps. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
