20Mg MTX per week

I have been on Methotrexate for a year now with no side effects to speak off. However my blood sugar has risen recently and I am due a fasting blood test next week. I have never been diagnosed as Diabetic and wonder if Methotrexate can cause blood Sugar to rise

  1. Hi . Methotrexate has actually been known to have the opposite effect, lowering the potential for type 2 diabetes. If you didn't fast before your last blood test, something you ate in the hours before might have impacted the test. I hope you get good results this time around. Best of all wishes! - Lori (Team Member)
