Low blood sugar is not one of the published side effects of Adderall, though elevated blood pressure is. Adderall is a stimulant and so, its unlikely to reduce blood sugar levels. The following page has good information about side effects associated with Adderall. You should always consult a doctor before taking Adderall or any closely regulated pharmaceutical product. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderall#Side_effects Being a stimulant, Adderall can speed up your metabolism. Additionally, it can cause nervousness and anxiety, which can cause low blood sugar in some people. It can affect your body in many unpredictable ways, especially through non-medical side effects (e.g., causing you to perform physical activities faster than normal or necessary, which can easily cause low blood sugar). It is best to consult a doctor, and/or watch its effects on your own body closely. I have type I Diabetes and am an occasional user of Adderall. Personally, it rarely lowers my blood sugar, but I often confuse the heightened anxiety and mood swings for a low blood sugar. Once again, I stress that it is of utmost importance to consult a doctor and/or monitor its effects on your own body, since ANY drug can cause different effects in different users.

Yes because of its ability to cause low blood pressure-------------------------------------Actually low blood pressure has nothing to do with it.
