I Get 6 Doses Of Heparin Lock Flush Daily. Each

I get 6 doses of heparin lock flush daily. Each is 6 cm . I have a picc line and receive 3 infusions daily of an antibiotic for a bone infection. The heparin is given before and after each drip dose into the IV line. My questions are, will heparin affect blood sugar readings? I also take 20 mg of Xarelto once a day and am concerned about too much blood thinners.
