Research shows that beta blockers and diuretics, the drugs prescribed most often for high blood pressure, cause high blood sugar levels, weight gain, tiredness and impotence. Most people with high blood pressure have high blood insulin levels that increase their chances of suffering heart attacks, constant hunger and weight gain. Beta blockers, such as atenolol and propranolol, and diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide, reduce the body's ability to respond to insulin, causing high blood insulin levels that increase risk for heart attacks, diabetes and weight gain. Because of this, drug companies have developed newer beta blockers such as dilevalol, carvedilol and celiprolol that do not raise insulin levels and therefore do not increase a person's chances of suffering heart attacks, diabetes and weight gain. Insulin resistance is defined as the relative impairment of insulin to promote glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. Effect of beta-blockers and diuretics: The experience over the last 6-7 years is that betablockers and diuretics in general impair insulin resistance by about 20%. However, it has also been shown that this is not a pure class effect because among the betablockers there is a clear separation in effect between those that have intrinsic sympathetic activity (ISA) and those that do not have ISA. Thus, propranolol treatment is associated with a worsening of insulin resistance by 32%. Precautions/contraindications: Propranolol should be used with caution in patients with: •Diabetes mellitus Diabetes mellitus , often referred to simply as diabetes , is a syndrome of disordered metabolism, usually due to a combination of genetic disorder and environmental causes, resulting in abnormally high blood sugar levels ....or hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroidism is the term for overactive tissue within the thyroid gland, resulting in overproduction and thus an excess of circulating free thyroid hormones: thyroxine , triiodothyronine , or both...., since signs and symptoms of hypoglycaemia may be masked. Also, propranolol may affect blood sugar levels Also read article on this web sites: "
