I have been diagnosed with diabetes after taking the blood pressure pills bendroflumethiazade. I Know 4 other people now who are all on this drug and are now getting tested for diabetes. one of them was diagnosed with diabetes yesterday. It makes me so angry that a drug with this as a known side effect is still being prescribed. Doctors are playing Russian rulette with peoples health and you are suppose to just take this, when I talked to a doctor about the side effects causing me to be diabetic I was told "well them are the breaks" I find it extreamlly worrying that they can have this attitude to patients. The lady I know who was diagnosed yesterday asked to be taken off the bendroflumethiazide pills, but was told by the doctor to take what she was told.
I'm sorry about the rant but I find it really scary that medication is just given out without a thought of the very serious side effects these drugs have. To be treated for one condition and end up with a worse condition because of the medication is compleatly unacceptable THIS DRUG SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET.
