How can kidney failure affect blood sugar ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low blood sugar: Kidney failure affects sugar in different ways 1. If you are on meds for diabetes, these meds are cleared slowly by the kidney, so their effect is longer, so you have the risk of low sugars. 2.Advanced kidney failure reduces appetite , so one can have low sugars if they continue the same dose of meds 3.You can also develop resistance to meds , which requires to adjust the dose.
