Thanks for bringing your question to dLife.
Depo stands for Depo-Provera, a highly effective contraceptive.
Note that all medicines have side effects. Hot flashes are one of the side effects of Depo.
Glad that you are aware that glucose intolerance is another side effect of Depo-Provera.

After taking the Depo for a reasonable time (you decide how long) and the side effects continue to persist, talk with your doctor about switching to another medication. There may be other options with fewer side effects to consider.
Take care.
