Can a diabetic patient take Cave?
Yes, a diabetic patient can take Cave, provided that there is a regular check on blood glucose levels. It has been noted that in well controlled diabetes mellitus with mild to moderate hypertension, Cave did not have any effect on blood glucose levels. However, it is important to know that, using Cave class of medicines (beta blockers) may hide the symptoms of hypoglycemia (decrease in glucose levels), especially increase in heart beat or palpitations. In addition to that, Cave may cause worsening of hyperglycaemia (increase in blood glucose levels) in patients with heart failure and diabetes. Hence, it is recommended that blood glucose should be monitored while initiating, adjusting, or discontinuing the dose of Cave. Inform the doctor if there is any change in blood glucose levels during Cave therapy.
