    Prediabetes Drug-induced prediabetes? Propranolol?

    Hi All There seems to be very little information on drug induced prediabetes. I suspect Propranolol (Beta Prograne 160mg sustained release). I have halved my dose to 80mg in an attempt to reduce the effects. Any advice or information appreciated.
