For example, it will be hard for a doctor to determine if your diabetes is getting worse because of medication interactions since there are many other reasons diabetes can go out of control. Here is a list of 9of the most common drugs that may have adverse effects on diabetics:1. Beta blockers: These may reduce the release of insulin. Some examples are Lopressor, Tenormin, and Inderal.2. Minoxidil: This can raise your blood glucose levels. If you are on insulin and you forget your minoxidil dose, your blood glucose may go too low.
