Have been having trouble with higher than normal readings two hours after breakfast. Put it down to the dawn phenomenom but now think it is the beta blockers I have recently been prescribed.
I take these when I get up and then have my breakfast. Prior to the beta blockers, never had a problem with this reading.
I have experimented and taken them at different times during the day and sure enough, my readings are all within normal range except for the one two hours after the beta blockers.
Have just looked on the site recommended by Katharine, http://www.dsolve.com and there it says under the heading, HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES, that beta blockers and diuretics increase insulin resistance in some people.
Anyone else had this problem?
