Does Omeprazole Causes Elevated Blood Sugar Levels?
I m a type 2 diabetic and until about 3 weeks ago have had my blood sugar under control. As of late I was taking 20 mg of omeprazole ma day blood sugar started to go up to between 250-380. I stopped taking the omeprazole, but my blood sugar still has not gone down below 200. I have watched what I m eating but cannot seem to get my blood sugar below 200.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Omeprazole has nothing to do anything with the blood sugar level because it may not increase the blood sugar level but blood sugar might have gone up because of uncontrolled diabetes, better take care in dose of anti-diabetic drugs, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
