Arava (Leflunomide) is an immunosuppressive drug used in autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.

There does not seem to be any data in the literature indicating that Arava affects blood sugar. However, Arava can cause a variety or serious side effects (e.g. liver damage) and should only be taken under close supervision of a physician.
