I've been seeing nephrologists recently as I had a slightly raised potassium 5.5 for the last 6 months. They discharged me but the blood tests they did have shown my potassium has risen to 6.4 I 4 weeks. I got a letter today to diagnose mild chronc kidney disease, what a way for a Saturday to get better.
Sorry I'll get to the point, they have put me on furosemide , normally I would research any drug they ask me to take as I am a brittle type 1 but they want me to start taking this right now. Does I have any effects on people's blood sugars or interact with insulin. I spoke the pharmacist but theywere a bit hazy and having been given amazing advice here before I wondered if anyone could give me their experiences?
Thank you in advance.
