Hello shahramahroyan,
As you're due to have the HT injection today (and indeed you might already have had it, I'm currently abroad and it's only 9.10am as I type this but 4.10pm in the UK) it would be best to ask when you attend for this to be done.
Derek.

Hello shahramahroyan
I am a Type 2 diabetic (and have been for over 10 years) I have also had 4 years of Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer.
I was aware that HT for Prostate Cancer can raise your blood sugar (and your weight). My diabetic nurse and iIhad a chat and I agreed to change my eating habits and we set my Hba1C target slightly higher than 40 to 48. I have managed to keep it below 48!!
I can't answer the glaucoma question - but I hope the above helps.
Best wishes - Brian.
