3 days of mirtaz is unlikely to be the reason. Maybe taken for few weeks it can. You can stop it suddenly and consult an astute psychiatrist if insomnia recurs. Good luck

Sugar level is unlikely to change within three days. Though if you’re taking just for sleep disturbances you can take other medications and try sleep hygiene and relaxation techniques. Check whether your in pre-diabetic phase, family history of diabetes.
Next Steps
Consult psychiatrist and physician.

Your sugars will not increase within three days of taking Mirtazepine.
There might be other reasons.
Never stop or start psychiatric medication without psychiatrist consult
