Dill and Insulin Aspart, Insulin Degludec

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTIDIABETES DRUGS

Why this applies to Insulin Aspart, Insulin Degludec

Insulin Aspart, Insulin Degludec falls under ANTIDIABETES DRUGS — the group Dill interacts with.

Theoretically, dill extract might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Animal research shows that dill extract can reduce blood sugar levels. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Ryzodeg combines two insulins (aspart for fast coverage at meals and degludec for steady, long-lasting background control). Both work to lower your blood sugar. Dill, mostly in concentrated extract or essential oil form, may have a mild blood-sugar-lowering effect of its own. Stacked on top of your insulin, the theory is that the two could add up and push your sugar too low.

If that happened, you might feel shaky, sweaty, dizzy, irritable, or confused (signs of hypoglycemia). The honest truth is this is based only on animal and lab studies, so it's far from certain, and the dill in your pickles or cooking is very unlikely to matter. If you take dill supplements, keep checking your glucose and chat with your pharmacist or doctor before changing anything.
