There are two classes that are bad for diabetes: protease inhibitors and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)

The use of this drugs can lead to insulin resistance and high levels of sugar in the blood. Also,if the patient wasn't diabetic, taking this drugs can make him one. An example of this link is the protease inhibitor:indinavir.For the same reasons, NRTIs should not be used by diabetics.

Nucleoside reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitor are class of antiretroviral drugs that are particularly troublesome to patients with diabetes. This is because these drugs develop insulin resistance in the blood.

Further Explanation:

Diabetes is a type of disease which is developed when the level of glucose is elevated in blood than the normal level. In other word diabetes is developed due to high level of blood sugar level.

Glucose is mainly received by breaking down the food that we eat. Glucose is a primary source of the energy in the body. Normal level of glucose is necessary for body to work, but elevated level of glucose result in many problems. Diabetes cause very serious health issue such as stroke, heart and kidney problem. Diabetes is also of two types:

• Type I

• Type II

 

Main Symptoms of diabetes are:

• Frequent urination

• Increased thirst

• Unusual weight loss

• Increased hunger

• Fatigue

• Blurred vision

• Numbness in feet

There are mainly two class of antiretroviral drug that are not healthy for diabetic patient, one is nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and second is protease inhibitors. This drug show adverse effect on diabetic patient. Also if a non-diabetic patient is taking these drugs than there are high chances of developing diabetes. This is because these drugs develop insulin resistance and develop high levels of sugar in the blood.
