Are High Blood Sugar And Elevated Ketone Normal In A Diabetic After Dental Procedure?

My daughter age 18, 5 foot seven inches, 156 pounds, Type 1 diabetic had her wisdom teeth removed yesterday. She is taking amoxicillin and Ibuprofen. Her blood sugars were high (in the 200 range) and she had large ketones. Is this normal and what should she do? She is drinking plenty of water and correcting blood sugars when needed. Today her blood sugar was 140 and she had small ketones.

high blood sugar is known to impair reparative processes of the body. what is she taking for correcting blood sugar ? i think you must consult your physician for this. rest the medicine she is taking is fine. only problem is that healing time could increase.
