Sintesi

High-dose niacin, as used for lipid lowering, can impair glucose tolerance and raise blood glucose. This may reduce the glucose-lowering effect of insulin degludec and lead to worsened glycemic control in patients with diabetes.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Insulin degludec and Vitamin b3 can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.

Insulin degludec belongs to Endocrine; Vitamin b3 belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Niacin induces insulin resistance and increases hepatic glucose output, which opposes the glucose-lowering action of insulin.

Cosa fare

Monitor blood glucose more frequently when starting, adjusting or stopping high-dose niacin. Increase the insulin dose as needed and reduce it again if niacin is withdrawn.
