Hi,
Welcome to Health Care Magic, thanks for posting your query. I understand your concern.
Taking Rberite D has got nothing to do with your sugar levels, its just a co-incidence that you have noticed the rise in sugar levels while taking the tablet.
your blood pressure seems to be in good control, continue taking he same medication and keep your blood pressure monitored every day to see for changes.
And for the sugar problem, i suggest you to keep a check on your diet for a week atleast and then to repeat the test again. Do not consume sugar/ rice/ bakery products/ sweets, also try exercising a bit . If after a week of this diet you still get high sugar values then do consult a physician who will do a thorough blood test and prescribe you diabetic drugs , dose depending on your sugar levels.
Please get a RBS, FBS, and PPBS test done at the earliest to make sure your sugar levels are normal.
Avoid alcohol and smoking meanwhile.
Hope this helps and answers your query satisfactorily .
Do write back for further assistance,
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
Regards.
