I have been on Diovan 160 for two years. Have put on 10 - 12 lbs. Have developed low sodium levels, muscle pain and slightly elevated blood sugar levels. Is low sodium level a possible side effect of taking Diovan?

Hi. My original post is July 29, 2008. I have read a few testimonials about elevated blood sugar levels with Diovan. I'm wondering if anyone who experienced a high resting sugar reading approaching diabetes saw that figure drop when they went off of Diovan.

As for the pain in my back and legs, I am controlling that with Naproxen as the alternative drug the doctor prescribed did not work. The pain is under control and I am able to work out so I can lose enough weight to be able to discontinue the Diovan. But I am now very concerned about the posts related to Diabetes. Would appreciate any input on this. Thanks.
