Drug-induced impaired glucose tolerance
Drug-induced impaired glucose tolerance
Drugs which are known to cause impaired glucose tolerance include:- thiazides, furosemide (less common)
- steroids
- tacrolimus, ciclosporin
- interferon-alpha
- nicotinic acid
- antipsychotics
Beta-blockers cause a slight impairment of glucose tolerance. They should also be used with caution in diabetics as they can interfere with the metabolic and autonomic responses to hypoglycaemia
