| Response from Dr. Pierone
 Some of the HIV medications tend to increase blood glucose and blood pressure and there are some potential drug-drug interactions which may occur. Also, protease inhibitor-based regimens seem to have a greater likelihood of worsening glucose control. That said, these three conditions are common and can be managed simultaneously without major problems. Best of luck! | ||||||||
