[QUOTE="Nicknackwack, post: 2422446, member: 545376"] Hi MT10 - noting that you have had a cardiac event, are you on beta blockers ? These can significantly increase BS levels. Also re Statins, it’s well documented that they can also increase BS levels. My own experience following heart failure followed by heart ablation then medicated with beta blockers and a statin increased my BS substantially. To fix the issue I got my diabetes team to consult and communicate with my cardiac team. This led to a review of my meds and a solution was found. I ditched the statin, reduced the beta blocker dose and my BS levels reduced and are stable without any detrimental effect to my heart. Also, under the approval of the cardiac team, I’m about to start insulin to hopefully reduce my BS further. The trick is to make sure that both your cardiac and diabetic teams work together to find a solution [/QUOTE]
