Not been tested yet but I know they'll find me pre-diabetic when they get round to it. I've always had totally normal BGs of under 5.5. Now since starting a whole bunch of heart meds, my BG is always mid 7s. (Hubby is long term type 2 and I was using his meter to check what was going on with me). Is there anything I can do now to pre-empt this? I'd rather stop it before it starts if you know what I mean.

Can you ask your Doctor about this also ask a pharmacist if our tablets may be causing this
 
NHS site says these meds will - or at least a couple of them - will cause a rise in BG and patients should be tested regularly just in case. :confused:
