Propanolol and blood sugar very upset now don’t know what to do

[gowest12]

Hi does anyone in this group take propanolol for anxiety? I’m suffering with terrible anxiety and depression which I have done all my life but when I got this prediabetes diagnosis it just set it off again and my doctor prescribed fluoxetine first 20mg then upped to 40 and I’ve been on 40 for 3 weeks now with hardly any improvement so the doctor added propanolol to help with anxiety while the fluoxetine kicks in. I’ve got 20mg to take 3 or 4 times a day and it’s helping me with the anxiety hopefully till the other ones kick in if they do. Now I’ve been researching about propanolol and getting worried that it may raise blood glucose i asked my doctor and he said no. Do any other diabetics here or prediabetics take it for anxiety??? Would love to know if others are on it and for how long you’ve been on it and the dosage. I really need something for the anxiety but now worried it’s causing me more problems which I really don’t need
