Chantix And Very High Blood Sugar (Page 3) (Top voted first)

My husband started taking Chantix 3 weeks ago and is doing well with not smoking, however, he is a type 2 diabetic but he has also controlled it with diet and Metformin twice daily. Now since he has been on Chantix, his blood sugar level has been over 600. We went to the doctor yesterday and he told him that it was the Chantix and stop taking it. He is watching everything that he eats and drinks and this morning his blood sugar is still 440. The doctor is sending him to a Diabetic Control Center but it is going to be a week or so. Has everyone else had this problem?

After only 3 days on Chantix my once-controlled blood sugar levels have taken an extreme spike for no apparent reason! I have successfully treated my Type 2 Diabetes with healthy eating & Metformin & my bg has been below 120, until now!!! I’m so glad I found this site!! I am going to stop the Chantix immediately & pray it’s soon enough!!

I'm going through the same thing I started taking chantix over a month ago and last week my blood sugar was over 500 and now they are telling me that I'm a full-fledged diabetic. And now my doctor wants me to start taking all kinds of different meds and I said no let's just see if it goes down on its own before you have me jumping through hoops. I'm like sorry doc I'm not going to be your guinea pig.

I just found out about the relation on chantex and diabetes from my husband I have been fighting with uncontrolled diabetes for 3 years now. I am on insulin and metformin and still cannot get my blood sugars down. I was told I had diabetes after I took chantex to quit smoking stopped the treatment when I started to have chest pains. Then out of the blue I get told that I am diabetic I am so angry if I had known I would have never taken the drug. Diabetes is a death sentence it will kill you I should have never been so stupid. I am contacting a lawyer they should have to pay for my medical expenses concerning this I was not diabetic before the drug and I am now. It was the worst news I could have gotten from my doctor I would have preferred being told I had cancer at least there is a possible cure for that instead I am told that I have a disease now that will kill me and there is nothing that can be done.

I have been taking champix for some time now & went in for cholesterol tests & was told my sugar levels had me teetering on the edge of diabetes. I have stopped champix & have not been "well behaved" with my eating habits. I had blood work 3 weeks ago & haven't heard from my doctor so I'm assuming things are good. I never made the connection between champix & high sugar levels until just awhile ago so I'm gonna call the doc next week & see what's happening. I'll update here when I know...
