A serious side effect I have had is an increase in my glucose test from 95 to 214. I believe this med causes diabetes. Be careful if your preteen daughter is getting hold of duiretics as a way to loose weight. There has been a marked inrease in diabetes and this may be the reason why we are seeing so much of it. The kids get it from their parents med cabinet. Also, any elderly people in your life who may be taking this as many people with heart trouble seem to also have diabetes. MOST duiretecs cause this. This med also causes serious constipation problems.
