I have been on Klonopin (clonazepam) for 20 years and it has not affected my blood sugar at all, of course everyone is different and reacts to medications differently, in this case this benzodiazepine.

There are 10 disease interactions with clonazepam.

"High doses of clonazepam (5 mg/kg/day) can increase fasting blood glucose in experimental animals in a manner dependent on hyperglycemic hormones including epinephrine, similar to diazepam."

"Can benzodiazepines cause hypoglycemia?
Benzodiazepine (BZD) poisoning is a common medical condition often accompanied by respiratory arrest, aspiration pneumonitis, and may rarely result in death. Although it is not studied well, hypoglycemia is a real and life-threatening condition that may occur in BZD poisoning."
