Folic acid

[Scarlet10]

Hi peeps

I have been taking 5mg of folic acid for last 5 days. Im not sure if its a coincidence but my sugars have gone off the scale. They are in the 20's. I am not pregnant i am trying to prepare my body for pregnancy but i need to just lower my hba1c a tiny bit more before i feel happy to try and conceive. I wondered if anyone has found that folic acid has done this to their sugars? Im baffled why it is like this.

Many thanks for reading

I have been taking 5mg folic acid for the past 2 years - no affect on my blood sugars.

I have been taking 5mg each Tuesday, replace lost folic acid from cytotoxic treatment the previous day, for 15 years. No effect on my BGs

Could you not stop taking the folic acid for a day or two and see if your bg levels improve, if they do then you have your answer, but it could all just be a coincidence and your maybe feeling unwell even though the symptoms haven't materialised.
