Unfortunately there is no alternative to Furosemide if one needs a really effective diuretic. I am hoping to be referred to the local Lymphoedema Service as a better way to address this problem. I am not convinced that Dabigatran is innocent of raising bg (maybe they just don't admit it) but it does work in a different way to Apixaban, so it may be OK.  All this has taught me that on the whole drugs manufacturers and health professionals do not think it matters if a drug raises bg, so it behoves us to be very careful and inquisitive.</p></blockquote><p></p>
