Taking Amoxicillin For Throat And Ear Infection. Diabetic Patient. Sudden Increase In Sugar Levels. Due To Medications?
thank you for your query.
To begin with i will like to tell you that in there are two factors that play in increasing the blood sugar level in Type 2 diabetes.
1) Infection
2) Antibiotics
So you can see that in your case, its the COMBINATION of the above two that has caused your blood sugar to rise.
I would advise you first that you should see your primary care and let him know about the raised sugar levels .And if your sugar levels have risen AFTER you started the amoxicillin medication, then once the medication is stopped the levels will come to controlled level.
however if you are experiencing symptoms of hyperglycemia which include;
1) Excessive urination
2) Excessive thirst
3) Dehydration
4) Nausea
5) Vomiting
6) Excessive hunger
Then you should visit the emergency room.
If you have any other queries on this write back to me. I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
Take care
Regards
Dr Puneet Oberoi
