medication affecting blood sugar levels

Last week I posted that my blood sugar was up in the 200's when even at my heaviest (255 lbs) it had never gone over 100. The only thing I can think of that I did different was taking a pill called Amphepramone. It's an appetite suppresant called anorexigen or something like that. I also took two 200 mcg chromium nicotinate pills.

I read somewhere in the internet that medicine can sometimes affect your blood sugar level...

Anybody out there knowledgeable?

I take Chromium polynicotinate to help with blood glucose metabolism , Chromium has a warning with it because it can make you hypoglycemic. I'd check all medicine with your GP as a diabetic medicine's as well as your general state of health can dramatically affect your BG readings.
