I am not a doctor but I had been diabetic for 20 years. I had been put on statin straight aways. After 17 years my cholesterol was 3.5 and it was killing me: high sugar level, mobility impaired, eyes illness and memory loss. I have stopped taking them three years ago and I have refused all vaccinations. I feel like a 20 years old again.
I am so happy for you. I love the SugarMD video's. My Doctor needs to watch it. I have never taken a flu shot and I never get sick with the flu. I've been a diabetic 20 years too. My doctor changed me to Glipizide and stated me on a water pill called Hydrochlorothiazide and my blood sugar is high now. I have been saying no to stains for years.
My doctor put me on a statin medication and after 6 months my joints were so painful and I couldn’t walk and my blood sugar was so high that I became pre diabetic, after searching online I found out all these symptoms are listed as side effects of statin medication, I stopped taking it and my joint pain went away but my blood sugar is still high !!! I am still working with this problem !!!! Statins are really bad for you !!!!
The doctor that first told me I was diabetic WANTED to put me on a statin. He said something about diabetes and heart disease, but my cholesterol was not high, and I really don’t like taking lots of meds. He brought it up at ever visit. I go to a different provider now, and when I asked her opinion of statins, she said I didn’t need it - all my blood levels were normal, so there was no indication.
My diabetic doctor constantly pushes statins or wants to increase dose (triple what my cardiologist prescribes!)...I ignore him, but he brings it up every visit.
Stating raised my husband's sugar levels and when he stopped with Dr approval to take as needed, his numbers dropped to normal even with foods that would raise his sugar levels to 300 or higher. Now with low carb, higher meat 🍖 and watching his sugar... his A1C dropped from 9 ish to 5.2 and is sugar regularly runs 80s to 150s.
Wow! Thank you! I'm prediabetic with an A1C of 6. Interesting information as I take most of the medications you listed! Definitely something to discuss with my doctor!
Extremely helpful channel clear explanations and topics are right on for diabetics very happy to have found this channel I am subscribed and will recommend it to other friends with diabetes thank you very much
This is such great information, I’m on 3 types of the meds you mentioned. Definitely need to speak to my doctor about these meds. Great information Doctor, Thanks for sharing such important information 👍🏼👍🏼
Dr, Ahmaed I can't thank you for letting me know the culprit in my being diagnosed as Pre-diabetic some four months ag. Thanks to God and then you, I was able to within 1 month move from HBA1c of 5.9 to 4.6. I am sure after Ramadhan it will even be lower. I'll now try to stop the EXFORGE which I have been taking for 10 years! I want to stop medication complely since I am now getting my Bp Systolic to read as low as 120-128 And diastolic to almost always read below 80. I have removed sugar and it 's alternatives from my diet and I have always been an active individual so I walk a lot. Alhamdulliallhi. I have also stopped rice and carbs from my dies to a great extent. Alhamdullahi and then thanks to you.

My blood pressure was high, and my doctor prescribed me hydrochlorothiazide but just found out that it could be the cause I'm type 2. Yes diabetes does run in my family, but every year have my annual review I get tested for diabetes was always negative. It wasn't till after I took hydrochlorothiazide. A few months later, I found I was I type 2.
High cholesterol runs in my family. I have been on statins for about 20 years. I also have type 2 diabetis. What other cholesterol tablets would you suggest? I am from South Africa and the names of the tablets might not be the same. Is it perhaps possible to send me a list of everything that is inside the tablet? I will then be able to get a prescription from a doctor. Thank you. ❤️
Two years ago found out that I had high blood sugar and was was shocked since no one in my family has diabetes but high blood pressure is on both sides of my family. Seven years ago I had to go on Coreg for high blood pressure and high heart rate. I had been taking 25mg 2x daily. Recently have been able to go to one table daily and hoping to be completely off soon with losing more weight. After seeing this video my question is could the coreg contributed to my high blood sugar and insulin resistance. I also had to go on hydrochlorothiazide for a while as well. Went off of that 2 months ago. Thank you so much for these videos . They are VERY HELPFUL. Keep them coming.
I am pre-diabetic. I asked my doctor to switch me from Rosuvastatin to Pravastatin because it is not supposed to raise blood glucose. Also I was on hydrochlorothiazide with amilioride for kidney stones for many years. Two years ago my nephrologist switched me to indapamide with amilioride because hydrochlorothiazide was linked to skin cancer. I looked up both indapamide and amilioride and they appear not to affect blood sugar significantly. What is your opinion Doctor?
I took staten medication and afterwards I have become diabetic, is there something I can do to reverse it, thank you, you sound like you are a very good doctor, all doctors still keep pushing that medication on me and it makes me very upset
i am norraihan ahmad from Pontian Johore Malaysia learn alot from Ur advise how to controlled my diabetic now followed Ur ruled of diet and what should or shouldnt. Thanx Doctor for Ur help
Doc, after I nearly died from Delta last October, was in ICU for 5 days very poor prognosis, I came home, still have Long Covid, but before I got Covid I was not Diabetic. 6 months later I am severely Diabetic, fasting numbers 185-215 I just never feel good. Seeing my Doctor this Tuesday fir blood work. I was wondering while I was in the hospital I was given very high IV doses of Methyprednisolone and Rocephin. Then was on Budesonide Nebulized at 1mg/2mL twice daily for months. Any thought on why I now have severe Diabetes? Thanks for the great videos!
Me too.. happened in August, 5 days in ICU, stage 5, very poor prognosis... both lungs were completely infected as shown in chest X-ray taken in the initial stage ... organizing pneumonia!!!! Thank the Almighty God for pulling me through!! On super high steroid dosage, blood glucose level was always high while the steroid lasted ... not diabetic PRE-COVID!!! Also on PRADAXA for blood clots in the lungs ... 3 months.. on review before all the meds were finished, Dr was hassling that my glucose level was high, but I pointed out that it was the side effects of the COVID meds regime!! Sure enough my glucose level came down and stabilizes at around 6 after I was done with the steroid and PRADAXA!! Firmax3 helped hasten my complete recovery without long COVID! Thank you for this great video, Dr
I was told I have acute chronic proctitis, I am also diabetic and was on 2000mg metformin a day. I believe that's what caused my proctitis, any idea how I can help my blood sugar and this at the same time?
Anastrazole = estrogen stripper (for cancer treatment), Estrogen is a glucose moderator, Low or no estrogen = higher glucose…. Chance of heart issues, kidney issues, high blood pressure, etc. AND I am finding out all those “symptoms listed on the website are probably due to the lack of estrogen and higher glucose levels that develop for some. My pill is starting to push me toward becoming diabetic. UGH! I need the pill to avoid cancer, but don’t want diabetes! My diet has been good since last July….. but my A1C is still going up. Lots of exercise still has not helped. UGH!
Awesome content,thank you for taking the time to educate us.I have a question,Is there any correlation between diabetes and hyperparathyroidism ? Thank You
I took seroquel and olanzapine (not at the same time) for years. They finally stopped the olanzapine last year. I have been diabetic for many years, was not diabetic when I started the quetiapine and then the olanzapine. I hate having bipolar disorder but it was more a risk to me because of suicidality. I am not happy I have diabetes but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Hi @Araunah777, I'm really sorry to hear about your struggles. I completely understand your situation. Managing diabetes and bipolar disorder together is definitely a Herculean task. I hope my videos can be a small help to you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Best wishes to you, and take care.
Hi I do take venlafaxine only 37.5 mg for my anxiety and depression. I am sadly prediabetic. Hope this medication didn’t cause my prediabetes. I eat some protein. My late parents were type 1 diabetic. It’s hard to be on keto. Thankyou for your good advice. My dr is very concerned about everyone’s health. 👍🏻
I have been taking beloc zok 50 for many years and this year i have been diagnosed as pre diabetic. what can i take instead of beloc-zok to solve this situation
Thanks for a great great program..am on several of these pills and my cardio says he will not take me off them in fear I will have another heart attack..the last heart attack was in 2009..can you give me suggestions of how I can convince him that I really do not need them..
@SugarMD Do steroid injections for carpel tunnel cause glucose to rise during the months after the injection or only briefly such as a day or week after the injection?
Tamsulosin caused profound increases in my blood sugar readings. I was also taking dutasteride. I had to discontinue both medications. Has anyone else had the side effects?
Would like to try your supplements, but sadly, my medication is way way less expensive! I live on SS now and cannot afford supplements at this cost. My Rx is less than $10.00 a month.
@@sct4040 Yes, I know that as do MOST people, but the fact remains there are so many people out there offering help but want to get rich off of their help....it's not about really wanting to help people who need it.
Very interesting and very useful. I am on 2 items from your list to deal with BP and an episode of Heart failure. Nobody mentioned the link with diabetes. More worrying is that the patients information leaflet inside every packet of tablets says nothing about it either! Must discuss this at my next HbA1C appointment! Thanks v much. 👍
Hello Doc i am your new subscriber,love all your videos and thank you for all the info regarding blood sugar,question,does taking supplements like berberine and bitter melon can help my blood sugar reverse?
I have diabetes and I’m taking Atenolol for my high blood pressure andI you mention Atenolol but I didn’t really understand whether it is good or bad. Can you please help me. Realky appreciate your help.
Thanks doc,this is the reason why am thinking for so long that i observed a lot of patients who are taking metropolol nd anti schitzo drugs are gaining weight..even some anti depressants
Hi Dr I've never had issues with blood sugar levels at all. 2 years ago I started Lipitor 20mg and never had issues I had blood work every 6 months and glucose always was in the low to mid 70s. In Jan my glucose was 115 and A1C was 5.8. A1C always ran 5.0 over the last 6 years. Can Lipitor suddenly cause glucose to stay high??
After taking my third booster shot for COVID my period changed I was heavily bleeding nonstop it was horrible my doctor prescribed me anticonception pills 3 times a day to stop the bleeding that went on for 4 months my blood pressure was out of control recently diagnosed with diabetes my hemoglobin levels went low It was really bad 😞 now I'm taking two pills for high blood pressure two times a day and two pills for diabetes twice a day, I'm feeling tired all the time I do my chores and it's like running a marathon and feeling exhausted all the time it's horrible I wish I could get back to normal some day
I know a few people who did medically supervised detox. NOT fun but done. Never had sugar probs but it was yeast overgrowth. After that was done all good. I'm no doc but I see what goes on in some instances when my friend went to doc.
Omg do you know how many years I took Atenol for high blood pressure. I have been taking blood pressure medication since I was in my late 20s. Now I'm in my late 60s and I have been dealing with diabetes since I was in my 40s. I have stopped taking the HCT. I want to eliminate the metformin
This makes absolute sense. I remember when my doctor gave me steroids. Within days, I was incredibly thirsty. I could not stop drinking water, juice, whatever I could find. That's probably when I became a diabetic. WOW. Thanks for this video.
I agree . I am not diabetic but never had blood sugar problems in my life . When I was admitted to the hospital 3 months ago for Covid they had me on a steroid called Dexamethasone . This steroid was raising my sugar . I'm currently still not diabetic but this steroid has left some damage
@@-------------------DD I wouldn't say I'm much better lol . Thank you for the kind words . I was damaged by a Flouroquinolone Antibiotic back in September 2020 . It has changed my life since . I believe it even set the stage for me to catch Covid as bad as I caught it . The antibiotic i was given in 2020 has left me with heavy and numb legs on a daily basis , coordination issues , balance issues , facial twitching. It's been a rough ride these last two years .
@@Myworldmymind908 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're able to take time off to take things easy. I was diagnosed with Diabetes last year with an A1C of 13.2, but was able to bring it down to 5.3, but I really miss donuts.
hi doc instead of alll these meds being bad for you can you make a video on what to use instead of these meds. this is quite a list, what should people use instead of these meds that are not good for you thanks
I am in UK and suffer from eczema. For years I used Dermovate and other steroid ointments. Lo and behold, I also developed type 2 diabetes. It would be later after that that I found out about the connection between Dermovate and diabetes. My dermatologist denied it, but the diabetics nurse confirmed that there was a connection. Both professionals were working in the same hospital! Proves to me that there is a disconnect between departments as well!! So be careful. What else.... So my diabetes now, according to the doctor, needs better control. They suggested statins. Eh? What the..?!
I developed palmar eczema in the early 2000s and was put on the strongest steroid creams available and occasionally oral prednisone. Shortly thereafter I developed pre-diabetes. I was on these creams/ointments for many years. Then, the eczema started spreading over my body, and it had turned into a fungal skin infection. Thing is, I suspected exposure to fungus from the onset but no one bothered testing me for that, just gave me the steroids. I moved and a doc that listened to me. She treated me with antifungals. Now I am "eczema" free, with mild outbreaks on my palms but I use antifungal cream to keep it in check. And guess what, no more pre-diabetes. Oh and I stay far away from doctors and hospitals.
This makes so much sense! Why don't the doctors tell us about this?? I'm taking statins and psychotic drugs for depression and anxiety. I'm emotional now, this is so confusing!! 🌹
Can you share the peer reviewed studies that demonstrate the meds that cause diabetes? I heard you state one, but can you link them in the description? Some articles written for laypeople would be welcome as well. This is really alarming stuff. Thank you.
High quality peer reviewed studies are available for paid subscription users only. I don’t think you will be able to access them. But search on PubMed, you will find abstracts if not the full studies. You can purchase them as you wish.

Statins, I feel are a doctors excuse to debilitate a person to the point their body breaks down and they die. This happened to my cousin. She was active, but diabetic and her doctor prescribed a statin and the first thing that happened was her leg muscles began to atrophy. She was in pain all the time and it hurt to walk. It was like she aged over night, she started having memory issues. She was put on oxygen and she was not a smoker. Within 2 years she was dead and at 64.
I was borderline for years. Then I took a Cortisone shot in my knee. Weeks later my sight changed, I was thirsty and all kind of changes. Went to the Dr and he said I was a diabetic. My A1C was 510! I hate it!
A1c is a 3 month average of your glucose readings. It is a percentage like 7.2%, for example. Your glucose may have been 510, but not your A1c. The only reason I say this is because if you say that to a doctor, he will likely discount anything you say and treat you like you don't know anything, rather than speak to you intelligently about your health. Doctors are more careful when they know you know what's going on.
I was prescribed seroquel and Que--. For sleep. The seroquel was sent instead of que--. But the seroquel I broke out in a rash so I’m not taken neither. Now I’m taking Eszopiclone 3 mg.two pills. Also taking hydrocodone, and methacarbonal my spelling why off. But I’m visual impaired/ legally blind.
Let me add I have what appears to be IBS but really I cannot break down carbohydrates. They kept me on antibiotics last summer for 4 or 5 months before they decided to take or remove the cancer. I think it destroyed my good bacteria and now I am off sugar for the most part, and any carbs that are refined like bread and rice and potatoes. I really can't eat vegetables. So I am living on social security and some dividends. My car is falling apart and it looks like so am I. It looks like as long as I stay on protein, like fish and Chicken and very low carb flatbread I have fewer problems with my gut. But being so fatigued for so long lead to my lack of awareness with financial stuff and legal matters regarding my home, plus my laundry is stacked up like you wouldn't believe. Never in my life would I believe that with two master's degrees I would have ended up like this. God help me

@@reeritz1280 Get rid of him, My pcp takes very good care of my sugar issue.
No Statins. Watch Ken Berry, MD
Big pharna pushes the pills. I didnt have onset of diabetes until i started taking highblood pressure meds
So why isn't the Food and Drug Administration regulating the prescribing of all medications, to ensure the health and safety of citizens?
Stating raised my husband's sugar levels and when he stopped with Dr approval to take as needed, his numbers dropped to normal even with foods that would raise his sugar levels to 300 or higher. Now with low carb, higher meat 🍖 and watching his sugar... his A1C dropped from 9 ish to 5.2 and is sugar regularly runs 80s to 150s.

Hi I do take venlafaxine only 37.5 mg for my anxiety and depression. I am sadly prediabetic. Hope this medication didn’t cause my prediabetes. I eat some protein. My late parents were type 1 diabetic. It’s hard to be on keto. Thankyou for your good advice. My dr is very concerned about everyone’s health. 👍🏻

I have been taking beloc zok 50 for many years and this year i have been diagnosed as pre diabetic. what can i take instead of beloc-zok to solve this situation
Thanks for a great great program..am on several of these pills and my cardio says he will not take me off them in fear I will have another heart attack..the last heart attack was in 2009..can you give me suggestions of how I can convince him that I really do not need them..
Sometimes you got to do what you go to do.Reward vs risk.
@SugarMD Do steroid injections for carpel tunnel cause glucose to rise during the months after the injection or only briefly such as a day or week after the injection?
Tamsulosin caused profound increases in my blood sugar readings. I was also taking dutasteride. I had to discontinue both medications. Has anyone else had the side effects?
Very informative.
Glad you liked it. Stay tuned for more great videos. Share it with your family and friends as well!
Thank you Dr.
Very welcome.
Yes yes yes. I'm taking about 5 meds and they were working and now they don't work.
Where is the medicine list?
Can having an IUD cause high blood sugars too?
We need a Doctor that could EVALUATE our medicine drugs. Will clopitogrel or plavix increase Blood Pressure? THANK you DOC!
Would like to try your supplements, but sadly, my medication is way way less expensive! I live on SS now and cannot afford supplements at this cost. My Rx is less than $10.00 a month.
This is so unfair!
Eat less carbohydrates and sugar would help.
@@sct4040 Yes, I know that as do MOST people, but the fact remains there are so many people out there offering help but want to get rich off of their help....it's not about really wanting to help people who need it.
Very interesting and very useful. I am on 2 items from your list to deal with BP and an episode of Heart failure. Nobody mentioned the link with diabetes. More worrying is that the patients information leaflet inside every packet of tablets says nothing about it either! Must discuss this at my next HbA1C appointment!
Thanks v much. 👍
Glad you learned something new today
@@SugarMDs Always do!
My microalb ur is over 500.... what can I do? Is there a way to get better?
Hello Doc i am your new subscriber,love all your videos and thank you for all the info regarding blood sugar,question,does taking supplements like berberine and bitter melon can help my blood sugar reverse?
I have diabetes and I’m taking Atenolol for my high blood pressure andI you mention Atenolol but I didn’t really understand whether it is good or bad. Can you please help me. Realky appreciate your help.
Both me and my son got type 1 from antidepressants. I got it at age 49 'juvenile' diabetes and not one person in my family previous ever had type 1.
Thanks doc,this is the reason why am thinking for so long that i observed a lot of patients who are taking metropolol nd anti schitzo drugs are gaining weight..even some anti depressants
Thank you for watching our videos. Hope that you are learning as you watch.
Blood pressure medication cause diabetes too.
Hi Dr I've never had issues with blood sugar levels at all. 2 years ago I started Lipitor 20mg and never had issues I had blood work every 6 months and glucose always was in the low to mid 70s. In Jan my glucose was 115 and A1C was 5.8. A1C always ran 5.0 over the last 6 years. Can Lipitor suddenly cause glucose to stay high??
After taking my third booster shot for COVID my period changed I was heavily bleeding nonstop it was horrible my doctor prescribed me anticonception pills 3 times a day to stop the bleeding that went on for 4 months my blood pressure was out of control recently diagnosed with diabetes my hemoglobin levels went low It was really bad 😞 now I'm taking two pills for high blood pressure two times a day and two pills for diabetes twice a day, I'm feeling tired all the time I do my chores and it's like running a marathon and feeling exhausted all the time it's horrible I wish I could get back to normal some day
You are lucky you didn’t die my niece died after the shot she was 30 years old
Think about getting another doctor's opinion. Hope you are feeling better.
I know a few people who did medically supervised detox. NOT fun but done. Never had sugar probs but it was yeast overgrowth. After that was done all good. I'm no doc but I see what goes on in some instances when my friend went to doc.
Many I know have had either cancer , stroke or high blood pressure since jabs
How about prescriptions that cause osteoporosis ?
Omg do you know how many years I took Atenol for high blood pressure. I have been taking blood pressure medication since I was in my late 20s. Now I'm in my late 60s and I have been dealing with diabetes since I was in my 40s. I have stopped taking the HCT. I want to eliminate the metformin
This makes absolute sense. I remember when my doctor gave me steroids. Within days, I was incredibly thirsty. I could not stop drinking water, juice, whatever I could find. That's probably when I became a diabetic. WOW. Thanks for this video.
I agree . I am not diabetic but never had blood sugar problems in my life . When I was admitted to the hospital 3 months ago for Covid they had me on a steroid called Dexamethasone . This steroid was raising my sugar . I'm currently still not diabetic but this steroid has left some damage
@@Myworldmymind908 I'm glad you're out of the hospital and doing better.
@@-------------------DD I wouldn't say I'm much better lol . Thank you for the kind words . I was damaged by a Flouroquinolone Antibiotic back in September 2020 . It has changed my life since . I believe it even set the stage for me to catch Covid as bad as I caught it . The antibiotic i was given in 2020 has left me with heavy and numb legs on a daily basis , coordination issues , balance issues , facial twitching. It's been a rough ride these last two years .
@@Myworldmymind908 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're able to take time off to take things easy. I was diagnosed with Diabetes last year with an A1C of 13.2, but was able to bring it down to 5.3, but I really miss donuts.
@@-------------------DD sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I hope you feel better soon

Enjoy watching!
I took a data blocker but it made my left side hurt and i was sick. I got off them so glad i did. Now im watching my salt intake and im losing weight
Do haldol and tegretol do this also?
I am in UK and suffer from eczema. For years I used Dermovate and other steroid ointments. Lo and behold, I also developed type 2 diabetes. It would be later after that that I found out about the connection between Dermovate and diabetes. My dermatologist denied it, but the diabetics nurse confirmed that there was a connection. Both professionals were working in the same hospital! Proves to me that there is a disconnect between departments as well!!
So be careful.
What else.... So my diabetes now, according to the doctor, needs better control. They suggested statins.
Eh? What the..?!
I developed palmar eczema in the early 2000s and was put on the strongest steroid creams available and occasionally oral prednisone. Shortly thereafter I developed pre-diabetes. I was on these creams/ointments for many years. Then, the eczema started spreading over my body, and it had turned into a fungal skin infection. Thing is, I suspected exposure to fungus from the onset but no one bothered testing me for that, just gave me the steroids. I moved and a doc that listened to me. She treated me with antifungals. Now I am "eczema" free, with mild outbreaks on my palms but I use antifungal cream to keep it in check. And guess what, no more pre-diabetes. Oh and I stay far away from doctors and hospitals.
Do not under any circumstance take statins. Just my opinion.
@@phyllismay4384 Thanks Phyllis.
Nuts and seeds make my exzema flare up. Use a carnivore diet as an elimination diet. Look up on utube. Many good doctors doing this.
What about the side effects from taking the Statins.
Thanks, but better saying it more clearly & with more pictures, all the best 👍
Thank you Arul. We will keep your kind remarks in mind for the future videos.
Doc lately my sodium drop since i take candez for my hypertension
This makes so much sense! Why don't the doctors tell us about this??
I'm taking statins and psychotic drugs for depression and anxiety.
I'm emotional now, this is so confusing!! 🌹
Thank you for watching our videos. Hope that you are learning as you watch.
Eat for your health and try deep breathing exercises (Even when your not anxious.) It's very relaxing.
You've got this!
A few can't or won't DIVULGE legally
Thank you doc ,i know this time statin can spike glucose level.
Welcome. Glad that you are learning as you watch.

I had PCOS at 19 and my OB prescribed birth control pills which exacerbated my symptoms.
Can you share the peer reviewed studies that demonstrate the meds that cause diabetes? I heard you state one, but can you link them in the description? Some articles written for laypeople would be welcome as well. This is really alarming stuff. Thank you.
High quality peer reviewed studies are available for paid subscription users only. I don’t think you will be able to access them. But search on PubMed, you will find abstracts if not the full studies. You can purchase them as you wish.
@@SugarMDs thanks. Might need some ammunition when discussing with my family member's endocrinologist.
What about mirtazapine as a anti depressant?
hi doctor ive been on atenolol for 6 years i didnt know it can cuase diabetes whicj bets blocker is safer?

Doctors put me on Metoprolol, Metformin, and yes I have taken seroquel and risperdol. It lead me to become diabetic ( type 2).
What is your age now....i am also take risperidone three months ....this drug makes me type 2 diabtic...this is temporary diabetes or real
❤it but some drs don’t believe like Losartan May increase blood sugar
Does Zoloft sertaline increase
After I taking it more thn 1 month now m diabetic
Statins, I feel are a doctors excuse to debilitate a person to the point their body breaks down and they die. This happened to my cousin. She was active, but diabetic and her doctor prescribed a statin and the first thing that happened was her leg muscles began to atrophy. She was in pain all the time and it hurt to walk. It was like she aged over night, she started having memory issues. She was put on oxygen and she was not a smoker. Within 2 years she was dead and at 64.
Sorry to hear that.

Does antidepressants cause insulin resistance?
I was borderline for years. Then I took a Cortisone shot in my knee. Weeks later my sight changed, I was thirsty and all kind of changes. Went to the Dr and he said I was a diabetic. My A1C was 510! I hate it!
Sorry to hear that.
A1c is a 3 month average of your glucose readings. It is a percentage like 7.2%, for example. Your glucose may have been 510, but not your A1c. The only reason I say this is because if you say that to a doctor, he will likely discount anything you say and treat you like you don't know anything, rather than speak to you intelligently about your health. Doctors are more careful when they know you know what's going on.
Probably glucose reading
I was prescribed seroquel and Que--. For sleep. The seroquel was sent instead of que--. But the seroquel I broke out in a rash so I’m not taken neither. Now I’m taking Eszopiclone 3 mg.two pills. Also taking hydrocodone, and methacarbonal my spelling why off. But I’m visual impaired/ legally blind.
I take metoprolol for mitral valve regurgitation!! 😢. BP is fine but glucose is going up!! Ugh
Let me add I have what appears to be IBS but really I cannot break down carbohydrates. They kept me on antibiotics last summer for 4 or 5 months before they decided to take or remove the cancer. I think it destroyed my good bacteria and now I am off sugar for the most part, and any carbs that are refined like bread and rice and potatoes. I really can't eat vegetables. So I am living on social security and some dividends. My car is falling apart and it looks like so am I. It looks like as long as I stay on protein, like fish and Chicken and very low carb flatbread I have fewer problems with my gut. But being so fatigued for so long lead to my lack of awareness with financial stuff and legal matters regarding my home, plus my laundry is stacked up like you wouldn't believe. Never in my life would I believe that with two master's degrees I would have ended up like this. God help me
I guess chasing the pills with a Coca Cola is a bad idea. Life just ain’t fair but I am listening. I tend to move very slowly.
Good evening Doctor. Please I need your supplements I don't know how to do it.
