Metoprolol and Blood Sugar
People with diabetes should be aware that beta blockers can make some warning signs of low blood sugar less noticeable.
For example, a rapid heartbeat may be less obvious.
Other hypoglycemia symptoms, such as:
- sweating
- weakness
- confusion
- hunger
- shakiness
may still occur.
If you have diabetes, follow your usual glucose-monitoring plan and discuss recurrent low blood sugar with your healthcare team.
When Side Effects May Be More Likely
