Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
There will be some people who will have side effects with most of the medicines,and they have to struggle a lot for finding the suitable drug for him.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
If the diabetic drugs suits you you can use the anti diabetics as usual. and the physician may try to give you some drug suits you.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
