Depends on the intensity and duration of the headache, whether I have any other symptoms and what I have to hand.
I may take paracetamol, aspirin, ibroprofen or just lie down and rest.
Having diabetes has made no difference to the painkillers I take or how often I take them (not very often).

Poor grammar, bullying and drunks.
Anything from stopping reading or staring at a screen to having a glass of water or taking over the counter meds as per the directions. Stronger meds can affect blood glucose levels for some people.

What painkillers do people take for a headache
If you eat no processed foods your salt intake is likely to be very low. I suffered from headaches when I first followed a LCHF diet and found that a little added salt got rid of them.

Hi @Lawrence73 ,

Welcome to the forum.

Paracetamol. But to be honest. I can't remember the last time I needed to down a tab...
