Hi everyone 

Has anyone experienced high blood sugar while on relugolix? I'm 9 months into my hormone therapy,and I was pre diabetic.

I recently experienced extreme fatigue and blurry vision,I was given 6 b12 injections which did nothing noticeable. 

I was was then admitted to hospital for tests,which showed that I'm now type 2 diabetic.

  • Hi Orangeboom

    I am on Zoladex and Darolutamide and have not long been classed pre-diabetic with an HbA1c of 45 - I was close before the drugs but I have tripped over the edge now after nearly a year of Zoladex and seven months of Darolutamide.

    My GP put me on a support programme for diet and weight loss called Liva through the NHS .  I have lost some weight and need another blood test in November to see how the HbA1c is doing. I have regular blood tests because of some of the other meds I am on ref High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol.

    All the best

  • Hello ,

    Increased blood sugar and fatigue are known side effects of this treatment. Macmillan have a fact sheet on this and I've attached a link to it below in case you haven't read it and want to have a look.

  • Hi again Krispy,thanks for replying. 

    I hit rock bottom with fatigue,I was getting tired just walking to the bathroom. Even 1 pressure was too much.

  • Thanks excavator,I know I read somewhere that relugolix does bugger your sugar levels. I am so tired I struggle to do 1 pressup.

    It's like the strong me is stuck in a weeds body.
