General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The first thing you need to do is the rule out the diabetic, else the cardiac medicine may not cause the hypoglycemia. If this is diabetic, then one can find the great fluctuation in plasma glucose level if it is not being treated. In case of diabetic plasma glucose level needs to be controlled on tight rule basis, else it is challenging, one more thing no medicine could cause diabetes, of course, certain molecules are there that may cause the hypoglycemia but not diabetes.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
