I was maintaining my blood sugar between 80 - 120, only taking Glipizde 5 mg twice a day.
I was having a problem with my toes on my left foot, so my doctor gave me Lyrica.
After about a week my blood sugar went way up. Talked to my doctor and he said to quit taking Lyrica.
My blood sugar never came back down, after several months of closely monitoring what I ate and increasing my
Glipizide to 2 tablets twice a day. Nothing, still high.
I am now on Insulin glargine (rDNA origin) injections, and have been increasing the dosage bi-weekly and still nothing.
Anyone got any idea how to get this under control? Wish I had come to this board before I started taking the Lyrica. I tend to have problems with drugs quite often.
I have Crohn's disease, with a foot of my Ilium, Cecum, and Ascending Colon taken out.
I suffer from a pinched nerve in my neck that affects my shoulder and upper left arm, get shots once in awhile which helps.
I have a damaged nerve around my mid section caused by Shingles, which can get quite bad at times
Arthritis in my knees, which I get shots that help.
The drugs I am taking:
Aciphex
Buspirone - had a bad side effect to Tegretol, which caused permanent extreme anxiety
Cyanocobal (B12) injections - no terminal Ilium.
Gabapentin
Glipizide XL
Hydrocodone/APAP
Insulin Glargine (rDNA) orgin)
Metoprolol - bad side effect to Purinethol caused permanent Angina/High blood pressure
Rapaflo - Urination problem
