The doctors are checking everthing but I just don't know why my sugars jumped. This started in Aug.( fasting 160 to now 190) when I started xyrem. I hope it is not related.

Are you on diabetic meds? I am sure you are, what were your sugars before xyrem? I have type 2 diabetes and my xyrem has never messed with my sugars and I have been taking it a year now. I know it will be hard to do but maybe go a couple of nights without xyrem and see what your sugars are. Xyrem only stays in your system for 6 hours after last dose so I would find it very curious if it is the xyrem.

Oh nooooo!!!! Can't be Xyrem. Cuz then I'd have to change my goals ;)

Please keep us posted. You mean your blood sugar level went from 160 to 190? What is normal? Are you diabetic? Sorry, I'm not knowledgeable in that area...

i also take jaunvia,i take it at night 30 mins. before my 1st xyrem dose. My husband who is also type2 had to stop metformin as it had some nasty gastro side effects. Do you monitor at home? If so has this been a gradual increase or a sudden one? So do i understand that on the 9th they are testing your A1c?
