It might be medications causing this?

Lack of exercise can also be a cause. Once you begin to resume normal activity, it should also normalize insulin levels. Lack of sleep can also mess up insulin resistance.

Do you have a history of diabetes in your family? Sometimes in the hospital people are given steriods in their IV for various reasons. Steroids elevate peoples blood sugars, especially if one is " borderline" diabetic.

I was Pre diabetic before ablation but with weight loss and diet I got back to normal

I am now two months post ablation and my blood sugar is up to almost diabetic levels

When I had palpitations my blood sugar used to rise and I think this is my body saying it is still under stress post surgery but it is depressing after working so hard to reduce it

I am hoping that a bit more exercise will fix it as I did take things very easy after the op

My blood sugar was also a bit high for the first time in my life. It went back to normal after I stopped the beta blocker.
