anyone else get rising fasting blood sugar from taking Leqvio shots?
Hi,
Got my 2nd Leqvio shot a week ago and fasting blood sugar is already 10-15 points higher. Thankfully went back to normal-for-me post-meal mode after breakfast. Might have risen some from the 1st shot, over 3 months, but not as much.
For me, it seems that any drug which is metabolized in and/or affects the liver (statins, among others) negatively affects my blood sugar. Diabetes runs in my family (parents and sibling) and I've been trying for many years - through diet and supplements - to stave off an official diagnosis... My cardiologist is already unhappy with me for not continuing the statin route.

Your symptoms sound like mine. I have not yet taken my second Leqvio shot and I have mildly elevated blood sugar, like I did from Repatha, not from years of statins that I know of, I have lost the taste for sugary foods. Don’t like them any more. Seems odd that sugar repulses me now.
wow, it would be good for me to not like sugar ;-).
