Does Indomethacin Cause False Blood Sugar Level Readings?
My wife is diabetic Type 1. She takes insulin and metformin. 3 days ago she was diagnosed w gout and was prescribed indomethacin 25 mg. 3 daily. Seems like it is making her readings low. She just got up from a nap very confused. Do you think the indomethacin is interfering w her readings?

Hi thank you for querry,
As you mentioned her symptoms and routine medication but starts of indomethacin doesn,t cause any interaction with insulin or metformin.
And it cause dizziness,daytime sleepy,drowsy,depression and vertigo.
so if these symptoms are not tolerable you can consult your Dr.
for changing medication.
RBS level must be check to fule out any abvious hypo or hyperglycemia.
Hope the answer will help you.
wish her a good health.
