Hi! i was taking the amaryl for awhile. I also took glucophage but could not tolerate it. I am now taking humalog sliding scale, and lantus 50mgs at nite. I also have thyroid problems (was graves disease but now hypo) and i take levothroid .075mgs.

I also have hbp and was taking hctz. hctz can cause glucose and cholesterol to rise. I went from 5.something to 7.9 . I have stopped the hctz and will retest next month to see if my glucose levels change.
