I am having great difficulty getting my blood sugar levels down, I currently take coracten and losartan for high blood pressure,
metformin and dapagliflozin for diabetes and sinemet plus for my parkinsons. Can anyone tell me if these pharmaceuticals contradict each other in any way as my blood sugar sits around 16.
 
Hi @Crusher and welcome to the forum.
The PIL for Coracten does list higher blood sugars for a few people.

There is also a small proportion of people using Sinimet who found their readings were higher.

Losartan can effect the efficacy of Metformim.

I think that if you are feeling worse on these medications and your blood sugars continue to rise then it is best to see your G.P. as sometimes medications are prescribed in the hope that you will feel better rather than worse.
I don't know what your diet is like as this may be contributing to higher blood sugars?
