A big reality for type 2 diabetics is oral medicine. This is something you’ll never ever see me write about because I don’t have a clue about oral meds.
I did want to share with you however, a resource guide about oral medications for type 2 diabetics that Registered Dietitian, Emilia Klapp has put together.
It’s always good to be safe when taking any medication and her guide includes such information you don’t want to ignore if you take any oral meds. And I don’t mind stearing you to her site as it includes helpful daily info regarding important topics like hypertension and cholesterol and of course diabetes management.
So check out the Oral Medication Resource and The Diabetes Club when you get a chance!
Have a nice weekend!
Actually, I plan a blog on this. KPD’s are known for having G6PD deficiencies, in fact, this is the major deficiency for people of color.
The reason for bringing this fact up is that Sulfonylureas are contraindicated in people with G6PD. There is a warning on the labels about this. People of color, most especially males, should have a test for G6PD before taking one of these drugs.
