Thanks.

It can in folks who have metabolic syndrome (MetS) or frank type 2
diabetes (T2DM) by increasing insulin resistance.

Depends on the inadequencies of the pancreas in the face of increasing
insulin resistance.

This is something you should chase by yourself, without asking this NG.
However, there may be some suggestion that hydrochlorothizide may affect the
movement of glucose into the cell and raising blood glucose levels.

COMMENT:

The average blood glucose level change due to hydrochlorothiazide in
the largest studies is about 10 mg/dl. That is, glucose goes up by
about 10% of normal.
