Can Simvastatin And Levothyroxine Affect Blood Sugar Levels?

I am taking one tablet a day for simvastatin 40mg and levothyroxine 75 mcg 1 and 1/2 on Monda and Friday and one tablet on the other days. Just got my blood work back and now my sugar level is high. Can taking these cause a increase in my hemoglobin?
