Does Furosemide Affect Blood Sugar For A Diabetic Patient?
I have been prescribed furosemide 20mg for a few days to reduce edema in my ankles and feet. I also take ibuprofen and have diabetes. The information sheet reported that furosemide may affect my blood sugar, and that special instructions may be necessary regarding ibuprofen use. Please comment.
