"Diabetic meds" to stop before an angiogram
I finally got clarification on the exact meds to discontinue:
Metformin: because it reacts with the dye used in the angiogram, with death as a consequence
Glipizide: it keeps blood sugar low, but a low-blood-sugar reaction is a lot harder to deal with than a high-blood-sugar reaction, which can be tamed immediately with a little insulin.
Other meds are fine.
