Do Metformin And Eliquis Cause Elevated Blood Sugar Level?
Hello, Blood thinners may not cause elevated blood sugar levels. Pancreatitis itself may cause elevation of blood sugar levels. Tablet metformin itself may not reduce the blood sugar levels. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Get it done fasting and postprandial blood sugar. Then consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Penchila Prasad Kandikattu , Internal Medicine Specialist
