What should be the next step for my mother whose shaky hands have not improved after taking the medication Inderal LA 40 (propranolol) for three weeks, given that she also has diabetes with an A1C of 7.1 and takes Glimprix and metformin?

Since she has seen no improvement after three weeks on Inderal LA (propranolol), her doctor should review her treatment. For patients with diabetes taking Glimprix and metformin, beta-blockers like propranolol must be used cautiously because they can mask the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Her doctor can safely discuss adjusting the dose or trying an alternative medication that is safer for her diabetes. In the meantime, please monitor her blood sugar regularly.
