Hi Cyprus,
Actually furosemide (Lasix) can raise blood glucose levels.
Thus I don't think it is the furosemide causing the hypoglycemia!
There are alot of other diuretics that can be used with or
instead of lasix. Proglycem (diazoxide) can be increased to
help with the low blood glucose. Baby food or a/d can be used
to help raise the glucose level. Enacard (enalapril) or benazepril
can be used to help with the heart problem. Plus an ultrasound
of the heart will help to diagnosis the heart problem.
