"10/30/2018: I am insulin-dependent Type 1 diabetic who takes enalapril 5 mg to control kidney microproteinuria. Recently, I changed to Vasotec 5 mg because Teva enalapril 5 mg is no longer being carried at my local Walgreens. Horrific adverse reactions causing my insulin not to work in my body and causing high levels of glucose. The Vasotec 5 mg seems to be acting like a beta blocker, which raises sugar and prevents insulin from working. While enalapril ACE inhibitors tend to help lower sugar levels and help insulin work well. I traced Vasotec 5 mg manufacturer to Oceanside Pharma, located in Puerto Rico, which is a subsidiary of Valeant Pharma, who recently changed their name to Bausch Pharma. I suspect that there might be something dangerously wrong in the manufacturing process of the Vasotec pill in Puerto Rico."
