Juwee,
Call your DR RIGHT AWAY !!
First of all if your readings are that high you need to call your dr. Right away... That is dangerously high !
And as far as the Neurontin affecting your blood sugar goes when I was diagnosed with Diabetes about 5 or so years ago my specialist went over all the medication I am on to see if any of it could be affecting my blood sugar numbers. I have been on Neurontin for 10 yrs plus. And she said the Neurontin does Not affect your blood sugar #s.
Are you on any type of medication for your Diabetes & if so what do they have you on ?
It sounds like you need to either have medication adjusted or different meds added.
Please Do Not wait to contact your Dr. if you cannot get in right away call & leave a message for the drs. Nurse & she will speak with the Dr.
Because with numbers that high you could due Permanent Damage to your body. I wish you the best of luck. Kathy

Yes I quite agree You Must Call Your Dr!!! I have neck and back issues and I was diagnosed 6 months ago as diabetic. I have been on gabapentin/nuerontin for seven years and my sugar readings only go up if I eat something sweet and don't take my meds. It is dangerous to have readings like yours for any time. I was told to go to the ER if I had readings like that. Since I have been taking my diabetes medicine and not eating sugar my readings are generally good.
Go see your Doctor and tell then whats up. Take care...
