Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, can be a side effect of some common medications. Sometimes, high levels of blood sugar are temporary and settle when you stop taking the medication. But certain medications can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Despite adequate pain control achievement following gabapentin initiation, blood glucose values continued to rise.

Studies have shown that approximately 1.2% of patients treated with gabapentin may experience hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) compared to 0.4% with a placebo. Although blood glucose fluctuations are a possible adverse drug reaction (ADR) of gabapentin 1, hypoglycaemia in relation to this drug was found in just one publication 3. We received six cases of (severe) hypoglycaemia in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients exposed to gabapentin, which occurred between July 2002 and July 2012. Gabapentin has been associated with both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in different patient cases. The drug's interaction with GABA receptors and voltage-gated calcium channels may influence insulin secretion, leading to these varying effects on blood sugar levels. Prescription medicines that can raise your glucose include: Steroids (also called corticosteroids). They treat diseases caused by inflammation, like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and allergies. While there is evidence suggesting that gabapentin can potentially raise blood sugar levels in some individuals, particularly those with pre-existing diabetes, there are also multiple reports of gabapentin causing hypoglycemia.

At the same time she had been prescribed Lantus if her blood sugar went over a certain number.
