I was on humira for 5 years, became type 2 diabetic 3 years ago, was on insulin, went off humira 4ish months ago and I no longer need insulin, and my sugar was 92, 2 hours after a meal today, I truly believe humira does more damage than thought. Also just diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma at age 37.. been on biologics since 2010. I will say I was on it for crohns and i was in remission for a few years, although doing weekly shots of humira kept me down sick. Please please dont stay on this long term

Diabetes or high blood glucose is not a known side effect of Humira ... however it may be causing it. Please discuss this with your doctor.
