Bumetanide

I have been taking Furosemide (diuretic) because I have a swollen foot and ankle. Nonetheless the swelling seems to be getting worse so I have now been prescribed Bumetanide instead. Both can raise bg. Has anyone had any experience of these two drugs and their effect on bg (and on oedema)?

Have you experienced Furosemide raising your bg, or are you just afraid it may? I hve been taking it for a while, and am not sure if it raises my bg or not. In any case it seems to have stopped working - hence the switch to Bumetanide. I m just a bit worried that if this works better it may also raise bg more.
