Insulin Release in Pancreatic β Cell

DO NOT GIVE THIAZIDES TO HYPERGLYCEMIC, HYPERLIPIDEMIC, & HYPERURICEMIC PATIENS
Remember that normally insulin will inhibit HSL (Hormone Sensitive Lipase) required for the breakdown of stored TG in adipose tissue. Since thiazides stop the production of ATP on the pancreatic β cell, preventing the realease of insulin required for keeping TG inside of adipose tissue, this drugs are not given to hyperlipidemic patients.
