Yes, atenolol (Aten) can affect your blood sugar. While it doesn't make your test readings inaccurate, it can slightly raise blood glucose levels. More importantly, atenolol can mask the common warning signs of low blood sugar, such as a rapid heart rate or shakiness. Sweating is usually the only symptom that remains. I encourage you to monitor your levels closely and share these readings with your doctor, who can help you safely manage both your heart health and diabetes.
