My blood sugar always gets worse on birth control (no matter which one I have tried). I asked my Endo about it and he said that it is fairly common. I also usually gain about 10 pounds which contributes to that effect (my body hates hormones!!) but I personally like being on them for the hair reduction/acne reduction and cycle control that I get. The rise in blood sugar from the BCP is actually the initial reason I went on Met. I was controlling my sugar OK before going back on BCP but once I started I couldn't control it as well.
