Question 5

hctz (hydrochlorothiazide) may raise glucose levels. never had this borderline problem before til taking this hypertensive med. what diuretic substitute should i ask for?

Accepted Answer

HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) and glucose: I would have your physician check your hemoglobin a1c to see if you have any diabetes while taking. Hctz (hydrochlorothiazide) (h). Another option is a diuretic called chlorthiadone (c), which does not raise glucose (g) levels. At age 59, you may have some chronic kidney disease (ckd) which would make both h and c ineffective. Ask your doctor if you have CKD and could be put on Furosemide alone, as it does not raise g.

Question 9

160 glucose level at morning fasting(abit coffee)

Accepted Answer

Diet/exercise: Your diet from the last evening and exercise are among factors which may influence your blood glucose. Did your coffee have milk or sugar- both may affect your blood glucose level.
Continue to monitor your blood sugar and watch for any symptoms. Please follow up with your PCP and a virtual consult is also available with a HT specialist.

Question 10

after drinking 1cup of coffee(no sugar,no milk) by 1hr & a half, my glucose level is 300 why?

Accepted Answer

: You don't have adequate circulating insulin to keep your blood glucose down. When glucose does not reach/enter the tissues, the body breaks down existing fat/muscle protein or stores from the liver to create more glucose so it goes up. You don't need to consume it for it to go up.
