bg levels, infections, antibiotics

[Guest guest]

We had the opposite results. On Augmentin his sugars completely normalized.

But that was for one week only. The infection was only part of the problem.

Dinner digestion and dinner doses and timing were the culprit.

Re: your son's fluctuating bg levels, and infections... I have

noticed in the last 2 years or so when I have had to take the antibiotic

Cipro that my bg levels go up significantly and immediately. The

infections (usually urinary tract, unrelated to the diabetes) don't seem

to affect it, just the antibiotic.

I have always heard that urinary tract infections (as well as yeast

" infections " or blooms) are strongly associated with diabetes, Pete, and

they tend to play havoc with our glucose control.

I found out I was diabetic when I went to the dr for a severe urinary tract

infection. Was told that it was a direct result of the diabetes. Dr. did

a fasting glucose in the office (my appt was in the morning and I hadn't

eaten anything since 3 pm the day before). Fasting glucose was 200!

Whew! the diabetes diagnoses also explained why I was constantly getting

yeast infections.
