Ibuprofen or Aspirin and Blood Sugar Levels?

[ScaredOfDisease]

Has anyone noticed any difference in blood sugar numbers while regularly taking Ibuprofen, or other NSAIDS? I've had some health anxiety, and stopped taking ibuprofen in fear of kidney issues. But I notice my post dinner readings have been worse. I was only taking about 600mg before bed daily. Would that still effect blood sugar by dinner time the next day? Glad I'm off the pills. Just scared will affect BS control. I'm just trying to figure out if it's just my anxiety I've had lately. Or if stopping ibuprofen has caused it. Thanks.

If you are taking the aspirin under the direction of a doctor he should check your liver function at least once a year.  You might run your concerns past a doctor anyway.

Hi,

Ibuprofen and other nsaids are not known to affect blood sugars.  Also the duration of action of these nsaids is not 24 hours, so it should not affect the next day's dinner.

You might want to try eating lower carb, which will help with controlling blood sugar.

if your numbers are higher than target, you may wish to discuss with your doctor on appropriate management.
