A member asked:
Recently, my blood sugar level elevated ; could 10 year depakote therapy for mania ( bi-polar) be responsible?

DOUBT IT: There are a lot of medications that can elevate blood sugar not sure that Depakote is one of them. Most likely is weight and genetics. So take a look at these factors and exercise change diet and speak with pcp.
