Answer

Hello XXXXXXX

After extensive searching for drugs that may cause hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) I was able to pinpoint Lithium as the possible cause of hyperglycemia that is it can cause increase in blood sugar.

Enalpril along with Folic acid can cause reduction in fasting plasme glucose. Please click the link below.

Efficacy of folic acid and enalapril combined therapy on reduction of blood pressure and plasma glucose

Clonazepam is a Benzodiazepine and it can also cause glycemic dysregulation.

Assessment of single-dose benzodiazepines on insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and glucose effectiveness in healthy volunteers

Finally find below a long list of medicines that can affect blood glucose levels.
