@nimalw, It’s great you monitor your labs! The calcineurin inhibitor drugs—Tacrolimus, Cyclosporine, etc. can interfere with glucose metabolism.

When my glucose levels began rising, I definitely was nervous. I doubled down on my diet, eliminated refined sugars and reduced simple carb foods…pasta, potatoes, etc. My glucose levels have reduced back into mid-normal levels.

Apologies if you’ve seen the attached from my previous postings, but if not, it’s an excellent look at potential side effects of our medications. Also, be sure to speak with your team nutritionists if you haven’t. They’re a great resource.
