HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Metoprolol can be associated with slight changes in blood sugar readings in some persons and may or may not be involved in her high blood sugars.

It would also be best for other causes of increased blood sugars to be checked such as infection, the composition of her lunch and supper meals, inadequate medication to control.
It may be best to consider taking her to her doctor for an assessment.

I hope this helps
