Diabetes Mellitus, HypertensionAbstract
Diabetes mellitus can result from drugs or chemicals among other causes. The drugs include anti- hypertensives and corticosteroids. And considering that diuretics and diuretic-containing anti- hypertensive formulations works better in blacks, these drugs are prescribed extensively; therefore, drug-induced diabetes maybe frequent in our environment. Three patients with drug-induced diabetes are reported in this case series. All were on high doses of thiazide diuretic drugs and beta-blockers. Strategies to reduce the risk of drug-induced diabetes mellitus are suggested.
