Also monitor for high blood sugar: increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, or fruity-smelling breath. Keep fast-acting glucose (juice, glucose tablets) readily available. When to seek emergency help: Severe confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, or blood sugar below 54 mg/dL that does not respond to treatment. Inform your prescriber about all medications to adjust diabetes medication doses if needed.
No urgent need to discuss, but always keep your doctor informed of your full supplement and medication list. Say: "I take Dextromethorphan and Glimepiride — is that OK?"
