Zoladex query

I've read that Zoladex can raise blood sugar (glucose) levels in men when it is used for prostate cancer. I don't think it has the same effect in women, but has anyone experienced it? I'd really like to know.

Thanks,
Jane

Re: Zoladex query

Jane,
Don't know how helpful I will be- but my doctor has me on tri-monthly zoladex and he said that it has very little in the way of side effects. He did not mention anything about glucose levels.
