Any correlation with HCTZ paired within Losartan and increased FBG? I have noticed my FBG has gone up about 5 points and sits at 93-95. Prior to medication change I was 89. Post prandial after 1 hour are less than 100 and at 2 hours I am at 85. My A1C is 4.9-5.1 depending on lab.
I workout, don't eat sugar, no red meat, and around 13% body fat. Currently 170lbs at 6 feet.
Read some studies that said HCTZ can increase FBG but also read some that said no not really. My only concern is if I should try to get off the HCTZ and take another med. I don't want to be labeled prediabetic and have to do another CACI. I am wondering if my numbers will keep going up as I use the medicine over time.
Lab results history
2010 FBG -86
2015 FBG -89
2016 FBG -93 (at this time I was on chlorthalidone 25mg for about 3 months)
2017 FBG - scheduled for this week.
The higher FBG have been based off my wife's machine as she needdd to check blood sugars when pregnant. I don't have an official lab test yet with the addition of HCTZ yet. I am a military flyer. Also if they bump up my HCTZ down the road to 25mg will that affect the FBG? My BP right now is 118/65 P52
