Augmentin And Higher Blood Sugar
I am being treated for a sinus infection. I have been taking augmentin for three days. During this time my fasting blood sugar has gone up from the 90’s to 100 to 113. Is this normal and will it go back down once I am off the antibiotic?
When you fight an infection it is normal for bs to run higher.
The sinus infection can cause elevated or dangerously low, blood glucose levels. The Augmentin is one of the recommended antibiotics for diabetics because it has less effects on blood glucose numbers. That is unless you have an allergy to something in the Augmentin.
Chances are that your elevated blood glucose numbers are due to the stress of sinus infection on your body. Any stress, physical, mental, emotional, job, or relationship based, can affect a diabetics blood glucose numbers.
Good luck.
It's normal so be a bit stricter and keep an eye on ur sugars
Would echo the above.
Whenever you are building anti-bodies to fight an infection (whether it's your own natural ones or ones that were prompted by an anti-biotic) your liver will release "more sugar than usual" to fuel the process.
I personally would be worried if my blood sugar "didn't rise" in a similar situation which would tend to indicate that the prescription is "not working".
It could be the drug treatment too
Have Antibiotics Raised Your Blood Sugar?
