does zoloft or klnopin affect ogtt results
i was tested for diabetes, and my results were 76 1st hr 81 then 43 3rd hr, they say i have hypoglycemia ? i didnt feel any symptoms when i left.......do u think zoloft and klnopin affected the test since i took it in the morning, they never told me what drugs affect it
i used to get readings of 300 mg/dl after eating a bag of cinnonnon bears and whatever else, i cant see that being normal, but my results came back and they said i had hypoglycemia

Hi
Thanks for keeping me posted!
Excessive alcohol intake, hepatitis, kidney disease, certain medications, disorders of adrenal gland etc can all cause hypoglycemia. It can also be caused by poor eating patterns. Rarely is it caused by insulin secreting tumors called insulinomas. These can secrete huge amounts of insulin after food and a person can suffer from hypoglycemia despite eating. You could be having this. On the other hand it could be Zoloft exacerbating the hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemic effect has been documented even at 50 mg dose. So please consult your doctor regarding this. Hope this helps. Take care!

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Yes, Zoloft can have an effect on the blood sugar level but at higher doses. Discuss with your doctor before stopping this drug for blood sugar testing. Please do not stop the drug on your own. Repeat the blood sugar testing and see the result. If the values persist, you could be having hypoglycemia. Also if the dose is low, then also it would be wise to repeat the test and inform the Lab that you are on Zoloft. Hope this helps. Take care!
