I am also currently taking cymbalta 60 mg. I also had knee surgery and also taking voltaren or oxycodone for the pain. Only take oxycodone if the pain is extreme, mostly use tylenon extra stregnth or Advil gel caps. Lately my blood sugar is dropping to 47, today it was 68, it's dropped all the way until 39 at one point. Could this be caused by any of these or combinations?
I'm not a diabetic but I get low blood sugar, could it be related with diovan 80 mg?

I wouldn't think so unless you are not eating at all while taking medications. The best thing you can do is have something to eat when this occurs to bring your sugar level up to a more normal range. If this continues, you should talk with your MD to do a glucose 5 hour tolerance test, but I really think you are ok. Take extra zinc & vitamin B6 to help with the healing of that knee so you can start getting the proper exercise & nutrition & you should be fine. Just my thoughts... Mary632009

Thanks so much. They have done the glucose tolerance tests on me, the fast, the 2 hour & the 5 hour. The results for the fast are normal. The 2 hour came back with a very low sugar level at 2 hours after taking the glucose. The 5 hour showed the normal rise, but then it plummeted. I didn't mention I had a gastric in 2001. Big mistake. Unfortunately this surgery causes your digestion faster than usual therefore as a result although the body thinks I'm still digesting food, my stomach is empty which creates the excess of insulin and thus the sugar drop. I just wanted to make sure the medicines were not the real problem. Thanks again for your input! Have a great day and stay healthy!
