Situation: A diabetic hypertensive was denied a beta–blocker because of traditional teaching.
Reaction: Oh my God! You should have used nebivolol.
Lesson: Make sure that diabetics are not denied beta–blockers when indicated. Nebivolol has no effect on glucose metabolism unlike atenolol. (Source: Am J Hypertens 2005;18 (12, pt. 2):169S–176S)
