Yes, Frusis can raise blood sugar levels slightly in diabetic patients. However, the exact cause behind this is unknown but it is presumed that Frusis decreases the sensitivity of insulin towards glucose which causes a rise in blood sugar levels. So, if you have diabetes keep a check on your blood sugar levels and in case of a sudden spike in sugar levels take blood glucose lowering medicines to manage your diabetes.
