  5. I'm really worried because I've just started taking Forecox tablets to treat TB, and I also have diabetes. I began the medication on February 25, 2021. How long will it take to see improvement, and is there anything special I should be doing because of my diabetes? I'm trying to stay informed and get everything right.
