Question about blood pressure meds

[Aurelius]

I just read on several web pages that some blood pressure meds increase your risk of diabetes. It was a very general statement as it did not call out specific meds.

Does anyone know of any of these BP meds that increase your risk of diabetes?

One doctor even reported that she has reviewed several cases of patients that became diabetic after starting BP meds and then when they stopped taking them, their diabetes resolved. Things get so very weird with all of this stuff. :confused:

It seems beta blockers increase diabetes risk. Here is the study :
People with high blood pressure are two and a half times more likely to develop Type 2, or non-insulin-dependent, diabetes as those with normal blood pressure, according to a study led by researchers at Johns Hopkins and published in the March 30 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.
The study also found the risk of diabetes to be 28 percent greater among patients who took beta blockers medications to reduce heart rate and the heart's output of blood than those who took no medication. Contrary to previous studies, however, the risk of diabetes among hypertensive patients taking thiazide diuretics was found to be lower than that of people not taking them.
