Hypoglycemia And Duloxetine
I'm wondering how many others with diabetes are having increased episodes of hypoglycemia while on Duloxetine?
I've been on it for 30 days now and since day one I've had an increase in hypos to theat point I've cut my need for insulin in half or more (I was 1:5 ratio I'm now at 1:30 for my Humalog).
I'm hypo unaware so it's been a daily roller-coaster ride. My endocrinologist said to cut back on my insulin as necessary and that's it. He's not had anyone with this side effect from the drug… read more
I have never been diagnosed with diabetes (except for my 1st pregnancy), But now that you mention it I have had weight loss surgery and am on Duloxetine for fibro and nerve damage in my foot. I have had hypoglycemia. makes me wonder!

I have been on Duloxitine for about 3 years I am a pretty bad diabetic and I haven't noticed any difference in my blood sugar. I take Lantus insulin it works for 24 hours a dose. I read a report that duloxitine can cause some cause some hyoglycemic effects when combined with some other medications which I cannot remember because of stupid fibro fog
I am not diabetic, but I'm thinking my blood sugar gets a little low. I get a headache and have to eat a little something. I have taken duloxetine for several years. I just looked up the side effects, and I have about 15 (of many, many more)! Thanks for bringing this up! Take Care!
I am retired nurse, I try to keep up with info on fibro meds I'm sorry that you have such problems with this drug. I also take Gabapentin and my my thyroid panel is borderline hypothyroidism, people sharing like we do on this site helps is all learn new info. Ty for sharing with me.
