If there is anyone with diabetes taking Xarelto, do you find that your blood sugar levels are much?

I started Xrelto in October 2015 at a dosage of 15 mg twice a day for 21 days I then had a knee replaced and was asked after surgery to continue my Xrelto to once per day ... My primary Doctor then changed my dosage to 20 mg one time per day... at the beginning of December
Now it is the third week in Jan. 2016
I had some blood work done for my Hematologist and yester my Blood glucose was 425 so they called me today
For a recheck and it was 442 kind of alarming and explains why I haven't been feeling right... not sure what to do?

I did that this morning. Go to FDA and their website will come up. There is a form to fill out online, but you will need to print it and mail in unless you find another site that is just online response. Going to see my primary and will probably go on Warfarin. I used that before and did not have any glucose issues. In addition, for those diabetics who need to use an anticoagulant, my doctors including a hemotologist said to disregard the info on foods not to eat. An experienced technician will adjust for eating a healthy diet tht includes green veggies. Mary

I started taking Xarelto 7 months ago after being diagnosed with bloodclots in both lungs. At first I didn’t see any problem except with head aches, but after taking it for a month, I beginning noticing that I was craving sweets. I have been careful about not eating high glycemic foods, but the craving is almost too much. I have been having increasing problems with head aches, neck and shoulder pain, stomach hurting, nausea, extreme fatigue and forgetfulness, This morning my blood sugar was 136. I have never had hyperglycemia, but I will definitely not consume grains anymore. I don’t normally eat bread but yesterday, I had a peanut butter sandwich and banana on multi-grain bread. I guess perhaps that could have triggered it, but it leaves me wondering about the terrible worthless feeling I am having. Any advice?

I have had terrible aches and pains from the small of my back down to the backs of my knees, so bad that I find it very difficult to walk. Pain is mentioned in the drug description, though. My doctor changed me over to Eliquis but I can't find any difference in the side effects.

I was on xarelto for about a week. Blood sugar spiked to near 600 and i am just now getting under 300. I was in the low 100's before xarelto. Had to stop taking it as it made me feel terrible. Even with 12 units of novalin R per hour I still stayed in the 400's. Going to the FDA link now.

I am a type ll diabetic and started on Xarelto Feb '13 for a clot in my leg. Before that my numbers were in the 120's for years and I could easily control them if necessary. Lately(I'm not sure when) they have gone as high as 210 down to an average of 167 but not below.My stress seems to be much higher and I have definite fatigue and a huge need for naps.

Everyone writing in seems to have had the same side effects. I told me cariologist that I want to go on warfarin and have changed to that now. My pains are almost gone now and my sugars are nearing normal. I wonder that big pharma doesn't test for these things.

Wow, these comments are interesting.. i have never had any diabetic issues and since taking xarelto, i now have to take metformin because i have developed insulin resistance. I am athletic and do not have any history of diabetes or pre-diabetes..

I contacted Xarelto website and was advised the information on effect on people with Diabetes is mentioned in the Ad. I have not seen it nor read on it. This medication Xarelto effected my blood sugars after on it about one month. I have called the Janssen Pharmaceutical company and reported this. I do not want this medication to complicate issues with high blood sugar levels which Xarelto would be responsible. I called Grant & Eisenhofer PA attorneys 1-888-207-0382 to see how many other people are calling on this same issue. I was the third person so far. Contact FDA 1-800-332-1088 or
http://www.fda.gov/medwatch to report this as well. My doctor is to advise me as medication alternative that does not cause this same problem. Waiting to hear from him now. Please report this to Xarelto, Janssen, FDA and any other site to get this handled.

I have been taking Xerelto just 6 days and My sugar has gone from 110 -116 to 145 this morning. I haven't eaten anything to do this. I believe it is causing me problems with my type II.

I am also having the same problems. My sugar levels are in the 300s. It does not have to do with food. i have checked. I certainly have to blame Xarelto. Too bad becaise otherwise I feel good. I will also have to stop taking it since it may do more damage than good.

mine have been in control until 12 days into xarelto they are now 149 ,156,169 and I take tradjenta 5mg and glipizide 10mg and 46 units of lantus so I don't know whats up,going to call cardiologist Monday morning coumiden ,limited the greens I could eat I have a fib,now im worried,there were 120 or less

I have been taking Xarelto for about 4 months .Since taking Xarelto i have been diagnosed as having pre diabetes. I do experience pain in my neck and shoulders as well as my legs too.I plan on going to the website and complain about these side effects too.

I commented earlier, but want to share... After contacting my dr with concerns over the increased glucose readings she agreed to put me on warfarin. I prefer the slight inconvenience of testing for warfarin levels to chasing glucose numbers without success. I followed advice of a hematologist for dietary info and was told that I could continue eating my garden salads and other leafy greens. The eating greens was taken into account when determining how much warfarin to take. Got normal glucose readings within a week.
