Possible: There are cases when Luspus is assocaited with both decreased or Increased blood sugar. Antibodies to Insulin Receptors are the reason for these findings. Make sure other reasons for low blood sugar to be ruled out before you attribute your low Blood Sugar to Lupus. Most important: treat Immediately, and treat the underlying disease if any. Be Well
