Case reports describe hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes, peritoneal dialysis, and/or incomplete medication Summary: Blood glucose abnormal is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Metformin, and have Type 2 diabetes.

Gabapentin is not directly linked to causing high blood sugar, but it can influence weight gain, which may affect blood sugar levels. Understanding Gabapentin Gabapentin, originally developed as an anticonvulsant medication, is primarily used to treat epilepsy and neuropathic pain. Summary: Hyperglycemia is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Lantus, and have Depression. The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Hyperglycemia when taking Gabapentin. Summary: Blood glucose increased is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 6 months also take Metformin, and have Type 2 diabetes. The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Blood glucose increased when taking Gabapentin.
