Remembered this thread yesterday. Terry Graedon of People's Pharmacy resent her Jan article in the newsletter about Hctz because she got reamed by a doctor for suggesting some meds may cause higher blood sugars. He seems to think if a patient needs BP diuretics, it would be better to risk diabetes and then treat that too.
Whatever, the article with all the comments is helpful on this topic.
