[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 900097"] Antidepressants can also lower blood sugars and it is unfortunate that yours is having the opposite effect. You could ask your Dr. for a change in medication but most of them will either lower or raise your blood sugars, depending on your individual reaction. Would you say that your antidepressants are helping you overcome your depression or do you think that you need a review? Have you been offered any talking therapies for your depression as these can often help and minimise the need for medication. Certainly worth asking your G.P. about this type of therapy. Your high readings in the morning could also be attributed to the Dawn Phenomenon. [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose/dawn-phenomenon.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
