Abstract. Due to its high prevalence, diabetes mellitus is considered a disease of the century, affecting almost all age groups of the population, and becoming one of the main threats to the health of the world population. According to the World Health Organization (2019), approximately 46 million people worldwide have diabetes, of which 80% live in low- and middle-income countries. The World Health Organization and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) predict that there will be 642 million people with diabetes worldwide in 2040. Taking into account the above mentioned the side effects of drugs used for diabetes mellitus treatment have been studied. Using a special, pre-planned questionnaire, side effects in patients were identified and described from the instruction leaflets. The purpose was to improve the well-being and quality of life of people with diabetes and their families through increased awareness and research and analysis of the side effects of diabetes medications. Studies have shown that children under 18 years of age are classified as type 1 diabetes and are mainly treated with insulin and a mandatory diet, but have have reported adverse reactions: allergic reactions, insulin edema, hypoglycemic conditions. etc. We found that insulin therapy used to treat type 1 diabetes is most effective when combined with diet and physical activity. Hypoglycemic drugs used for type 2 diabetes mellitus have a negative effect on the human body, leading to disruption of various physiological processes.
