Have only taken for 2 days. I have type 2 diabetes and all of a sudden my blood sugar was 598 without other cause. I read here that it could rarely affect ones blood sugar. It has never been that high. Calling the Doc if it doesn't straighten out.

Comment:
Put on torsemide following aorta valve repair surgery for fluid retention and it caused my createnine blood level to increase. Dr. took me off after a week, will repeat blood work in one week to see if level returns to acceptable range. Felt tired the week I was on it and my urine output wasn't what I thought it would be.

Comment:
I have tired many edema medications. This is by far the best the Dr has put me on. In just 3 days my ankles and feet are back to normal and my stomach belly has decreased considerably. I lost 12 lbs of fluid in 3 days. Now im back on hydroclorothiazide to help maintain the edema.
