Dangerous and common drug interactions in patients with diabetes mellitus

Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 2000 Dec;29(4):789-802. doi: 10.1016/s0889-8529(05)70164-x.

Abstract

As more medications are made available to the prescriber, the likelihood of drug interactions will increase. The number of drug interactions encountered by the provider treating the patient with diabetes has increased over the past few years because the number of medications used in the management of hyperglycemia has dramatically increased during that time. These interactions are complex but can be predicted.
