Ibuprofen and Blood Sugar

Does anyone know if anti-inflammatories have a side effect of reducing blood sugar levels?
I have been taking Ibuprofen for a couple of weeks for a painful tooth, and have noticed that my fasting blood sugar levels are down considerable, and consistently. Is this coincidence? Or is there another explanation?

Hi @granjapt ,

Welcome to the forums. Yes it is possible for NSAID's to lower a1c levels in T2's.

Here's a reference study.................

Thank you so much, Urbanracer. I wonder if we should all start taking small doses of anti-inflammatories?!

Thank you, all of you. I understand that anti-inflammatories do indeed reduce blood sugar levels. It is thought that high BS could be caused by inflammation, so logically anti-inflammatories woud be the right treatment. But, as you have warned, these could have a bad effect on the kidneys. I am so disappointed - thought I had stumbled upon a cure of Type !
Where do we go from here? Is there any research going on? Any trials?
