Yes, you can take Ozomet with a beta-blocker. People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease or stroke at an earlier age than the general population. One reason for this is that high glucose levels increase your risk of high blood pressure (hypertension). No harmful interactions are seen between them. However, a recent study suggests that beta-blockers can decrease the plasma level of Ozomet and long-term use can increase lactic acid and uric acid in the blood.

Ozomet can be taken forever, diabetes is a progressive disease it's possible that more medication and/or insulin may eventually need to be added to the regime.
