I've been prescribed this diuretic following a heart failure diagnosis. Since taking it I've been unable to control my sugars, using 45% extra insulin. I'll be calling the clinic in the morning to discuss, but has anyone else had a problem with this?

Hello Richard - not sure if your a Twitter user but as this is a slightly more specialist area you'll get more responses by posting this question there and tagging #gbdoc which should draw attention from their type 1 audience.

I had no issue with it.. But was changed to amiloride for unrelated reasons

Statins are the ones that raise my BG
