Anastrozole, Calceos and prediabetes

I’ve been prescribed calceos to supplement calcium and vitamin D whilst on anastrozole to help possible thinning bones, and have been recently diagnosed with prediabetes - a condition that can end up as diabetes 2 if I’m not careful. I’m slim, eat well (enough) and am active so wouldn’t normally think myself a candidate - except for three things…

  1. I drink too much alcohol - actually, DRANK too much alcohol. This diagnosis has got me to quit - up to five bottles of wine a week so very naughty - perhaps this can bring on diabetes?

  2. Calceos - a high calcium and vitamin D supplement - can that bring on prediabetes?

  3. Anastrozole - can this bring on prediabetes?

The nurse asked me to stop drinking for three months and look at my lifestyle, then get checked again, but I wonder if any others have been diagnosed with prediabetes as a possible side effect from any of the above? I hope it’s the wine because that doesn’t help with anything, whereas Calceos and anastrozole does.
Many thanks! Cherry

Hi Cherry,
How are you? Has the diabetes got worse ? I think giving up the drink is a good idea but don’t deny yourself completely the odd glass now and then should be ok do,you do much exercise? I used to but my joints have been so painful what are yours like?
