Timing

Several botanicals have glucose-lowering properties (berberine, bitter melon, cinnamon, fenugreek, gymnema). If Reishi is one of these, monitor blood sugar closely — additive hypoglycemia is possible. Take Liraglutide with meals as prescribed. The botanical can be taken at a separate meal.

Risk factors

Higher risk for: elderly, those with renal impairment, irregular meal schedules, concurrent alcohol use, recent dose changes, history of hypoglycemic episodes, or those on insulin plus oral hypoglycemics.

Symptoms to watch for

Monitor blood sugar closely when combining Reishi with Liraglutide. Watch for signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): shakiness, sweating, rapid heartbeat, hunger, dizziness, irritability, confusion, or blurred vision. 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.

What to tell your doctor
