Yes lanreotide is known to increase blood sugars. Many have to go on metformin to control it. Everolimus also increases it.

It will be interesting when my HbA1c is checked again. I have only had 3 injections of Lanreotide so far.
I'm not diabetic "yet" but I have a high insulin level. I was told that a high insulin level is a precursor to Type 2 diabetes but eventually my pancreas won't produce enough insulin. Now my (hyperinsulinemia) might be caused by a pNET. If my high insulin level is from insulin resistance, lowering it could cause my blood sugar to increase.
I wonder what happens if Lanrotide decreases my insulin level too much???
