A member asked:

My husband has diabetic neuropathy, can he take evening primrose oil 1000mg as a supplement with his other diabetic medications? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unsure: Ask his physician because you have not listed his other medications so unable to see if any reaction.There are dozens and dozens if not a hundred or so diabetic meds.
