Welcome, @josterb. Mayo Clinic Connect is an online community of patients and family caregivers like yourself. It is a place to share experiences and get support. It sounds like you are looking for professional medical advice. I recommend consulting with your husband's doctor to see if recently added medications are affecting his sugar levels and what can be done.
As @windyshores suggested, you may also talk to your pharmacist if you are not able to see the doctor right away. Pharmacists know a lot about drug interactions and can review all his medications. This is called medication reconciliation.

Joster, does your husband have an upcoming appointment with his doctor? Does he see an endocrinologist?
