Pills that Secretly Raise Your BLOOD SUGAR (Updated) 2024

Here is a list of medicines that will raise your blood sugar without your knowledge or your permission. Most patients and many doctors don't realize that taking one of these pills can raise your blood glucose to unhealthy levels. I list the most commonly used medications that cause a blood glucose rise in this video.

After a decade of taking these types of medications, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not sick. I’m medicated. 🤪 I’m off of ALL of them. So far, I have lost 34 Lbs & keep getting healthier.

[@lanettek8545]

Thanks for posting. Your post is encouraging to me as having some struggles. I am almost off all mine with my doctors help, changes in diet, education, supplements and getting more active. Have lost only 12 lbs but at least 2 dress sizes in the last 45 days, since working on keto type format. Still working things out. Hats off to Dr. Berry & others for their invaluable help. Cheers

Medications are muggers of so much..and they deliver things we dont need.

[@BitterSong28]

@@lanettek8545 I just got my cholesterol results 6 days ago. Just to let you know, they are not good, but I don’t care. I’m taking my chances b/c these prescriptions cause weight gain and the key to a healthier body IS weight loss. Doctors prescribe medicines b/c the benefits out-way the side effects, but I don’t believe that that is true. Ten years of these medication cocktails and my health became worse! I’m healthier today b/c my A1C is back to a normal range with just a 36 pound weight loss and I still have 86 pounds to go. I can only expect that my health will only improve as I continue to lose weight and stay off their medications. I hope that this is helpful:)

My husband started watching you as soon as we came home in November after being diagnosed with diabetes with a 12.3 A1c and sugar was 340 the morning he went in for a triple bypass. He has been eating as close to carnivore as he can , I do fix good vegetables for him . Day before yesterday at the endocrinologist his A1c was 5.5 , she was floored. She said she couldn’t tell him anything, she needed him to teach a class. I told her he follows you and ketovore works.She had never seen such a reversal. He is starting to back off of his metformin and if he continues to maintain should be free of his medicine in three months. We start our mornings watching your videos and searching recipes. It is a life changer that gives hope and makes life livable.

[@Kens64chevelle]

My Dad fought to keep his diabetes under control for several years while following a essentially a meat and vegetable diet, but it never made any difference, and his doctor figured he was eating high carb/high sugar regardless of what he said. After seeing this video I realize that he was prescribed most of these meds that are mentioned which were keeping his numbers high. The nerve damage he suffered eventually took over his legs and eyes and IMO caused an early death. Doctors should be held liable for not knowing the potential effects of medications they so easily hand out to their patients.

Information on prescription drugs is available in the _Physician's Desk Reference,_ of which most doctors have a copy in their office. This is the same information that is contained in the insert that comes with the drug bottles, but many pharmacies remove before handing the drugs over to the customer. I always ask for the insert to be included. If the insert is missing, one can still get the same information online. I've caught my physician on occasion prescribing drugs that can have unacceptably serious side effects or interactions just by reading the drug data.

[@1450sturpin]

That is so frustrating!! People do not know all the side affects of everything and doctors should look for that stuff!

I asked my doctor what the side effects are for the shot medicine he suggested that I start taking monthly for my high cholesterol. He looked completely dumbfounded and he did not know:/

Medication that increases blood sugar: Abilify (for schizophrenia), albuterol (treats ashtma), Lipitor (cholesterol lowering), Coreg (heart med/beta blocker), htcz (30 different brand names used for edema/CHf), prednisone, Prozac, lasix, neurotin, synthroid, lopressor, ambien.

Thank you for the information. I am t2 diabetic and my a1c was 10.6 taking 150 units of insulin a day. Dr wants my a1c to be 7 not below and the dietician told me to have 45 gas of carbs for all three meals. Every time the answer was you need more insulin. I found your channel and went on Keto and stopped taking the insulin. After 7 months I am down in weight from 245 to 185. I am 6 feet tall and 67 years old. My blood sugar has gone from 280 to 150 and I hit a wall. I am also on lipitor and lisinopril and metropitol . I am stopping these because they are probably why I can't get NY sugars under control. I had a heart attack 3 years ago. I had 4 scents put in. I always had high cholesterol and triglycerides even on their meds.

I am glad I watched this. Even though I am not eating sugar, and trying hard to limit my carbs, I noticed my glucose was high on two blood tests. First problem is I didn't know I couldn't have Splenda. (Really disappointed about that) Second, I had been taking Metoprolol for SVT. I had a second heart ablation for that and my heart doctor said I could go off of it, but when I tried I would still get flutters. I had been off it for a week or two. Yesterday I ended up going to the hospital with what I believe was another SVT episode, but by the time I got there it had converted & everything started to go back to normal except my glucose was 147. (Might have been the previous day's Splenda. Or the fact that I had high anxiety, and the adrenaline kicked in bad! Shaking like I was freezing.) when I came home I took a half dose (50mg) and I didn't have an episode. But the heart doctor is booked into July and the office was supposed to call me for a follow up, and didn't. I guess until I can talk to someone at the heart office my glucose will be high... The good news is my triclyercides have plummeted, HDL is normal, and on the whole most stuff showed up in a normal range. Only about six weeks on the Keto.

Wow! I recently got diagnosed with diabetes 2 and I take 4 of these medications and have taken 8 of them the last couple of years. I’m gonna talk to my doctor and see if I can stop taking some or change them. I am soo mad! But thankful to you!

Please allow closed captioning for those of us who don't hear well. Alternately, you could list the meds like you do for the blood pressure video. Thanks!

So my A1c is currently 5.7 and I am taking 3 of the medications on the list so in essence my A1c is probably well below 5.7 !! this is very enlightening cant wait for my next appt. !!!
