Is there any connection between prozac and diabetes? after being put on prozac, diabetes type ii went out of control to the high side and it is still out of control even after switching to insulin (both long and short acting). is there any connection betw

The : The connection between Prozac (fluoxetine) and glucose level is not well defined, however, several animal studies showed increase glucose in the brain after administring fluoxetine. In humans however, the impact on glucose in individuals who have t2dm is actually lowered averge glucose and a1c, opposite to what you are stating. If your weight increased recently, this may explain (at least in part) your bs changes. See if you can discuss this further with your nutritionist/physician. Of note, high bs sometimes can be reactive and secondary to low bs so if you have any symptoms of hypoglycemia (such as sweating , dizziness, stomach pain), please do not hesistate to check your bs. Lastly, i suggest that you also check your bs at 2:00am for the next few nights to rule out nocturnal hypoglycemia. Good luck. Cayce t.
