[|Human|] Thank you!  I recently had a bout with the flu and since then have not been able to taste anything.  I am diabetic, taking metformin, glimiperide, pravastatin, and lisinopril, and have taken these meds for over 5 years.  Could they suddenly be the cause of my taste cessation?
[|AI|]  Hello and thank you for asking! I can understand you concern. First I would suggest informing us about glucose level and HbA1c. If the Diabetes is uncontrolled can alter the taste, but more probably it is due to flu that needs some days to go away totally, without leaving symptoms. Keep monitoring the blood sugar with glucometer, check HbA1c and attach the results for further suggestions regarding Diabetes treatment. Will be a pleasure to help you further. Kind regards, Chat Doctor.
