has anyone taking atenolol developed type 2 diabetes ??

[gerald/heather h]

i recently developed type 2 diabetes from taking atenolol for high blood pressure and was wondering if anyone else on atenolol has developed this - i can prove this with medical tests and records, if so please look up the ascot study about atenolol and the american society of health system pharmacists web site and check out their listing on atenolol - this side effect is not listed with the fda or the drug manufacturer - but was recognized by the world college of cardiology and the surgeon general of the uk who downgraded atenolol use because of this side effect, please email me if you have developed diabetes while taking atenolol - i am in the process of seeking legal counsel
this is not coincidental - i was tested dec 1 of last year and had no diabetes then started atenolol dec4 - if you would just look up the info i provided above you will find out for yourself - please do not give me these no its not i trust the fda answers unless you take a little time and research this info like i have - i bet you will be surprised because i was

I really doubt if this is why you developed diabetes. When they do studies on new drugs, they must list every little thing that happened to all those people that test the drug. I believe it was totally coincidental

I have been on atenolol now for over 6 years. and I do not have diabetes of either type.
