5 Common OTC Drugs That May Quietly Interfere With Your Diabetes Medications After 60

If you manage diabetes after 60, this video is for you. In this episode, I walk you through 5 common over-the-counter drugs that may quietly affect your blood sugar control — including one that most diabetic patients already have at home right now. We cover high-dose aspirin, decongestants with pseudoephedrine, topical corticosteroids, first-generation antihistamines, and the number one pattern I see at the pharmacy counter that nobody warns patients about. I also share the 3 questions every diabetic patient over 60 should ask their pharmacist — questions that take 90 seconds and can change everything about how your medications are managed. If this helped you, send it to someone you love who manages diabetes. They deserve to know this too. 📌 New videos every week — subscribe so you don't miss the next one. ⚠️ Disclaimer: Jonathan Reed is an AI-generated health educator.
