Do Stimulant Medication Cause Diabetes?
My blood glucose levels never get below a hundred and ten because i'm not exercising. I assume this means that the stimulants are still affecting my glucose levels, even after two days of not taking them naturally. What is the mechanism behind this? Is it the same mechanism behind what raises our blood glucose when we eat, or is it different? Do these numbers mean i'm potentially pre diabetic? The medicine truly has made a massively positive impact on my life, but i also don't know how these higher glucose levels will affect my health long term. Any helpful info or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
