Basically, a person with type I diabetes can take Aleve. It is a drug in the same family as ibuprofen (Advil). However, one must be careful when using it. It is often an irritating drug for the stomach. Therefore, it should always be taken with food. To be considered in the control of glycemia. Also, it is important to evaluate the medications you are taking to ensure that there are no interactions or contraindications. Long-term use should be avoided as it may impact blood pressure and kidney function. It is preferable to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) which is safer. However, in the short term, if there is swelling/inflammation, Aleve can be interesting. You will need to consult your pharmacist to obtain it. He will be able to review with you if this medication is indicated for you.
