This is a really important question that many people taking tamoxifen wonder about. While tamoxifen can potentially affect blood sugar levels in some patients, developing diabetes involves many factors including genetics, lifestyle, and other health conditions. It's definitely worth discussing these concerns with your oncology team or primary care doctor, as they can monitor your blood sugar levels and help determine if any changes are related to your treatment or other factors. Has anyone else in the community noticed changes in their blood sugar or energy levels while on hormone therapy?
