Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can having c-diff for 8+ months cause blood sugar levels to increase? How should it be treated? Do i wait for the c-diff to be resolved. I ve been on flagyl once, vanco pills(1) and the oral suspension vanco, and dificid. In 8 months i was negative for only 4 days when onset symptoms began again. I ve had one FMT waited 7 weeks, syptomatic the entire time, stool culture came back positive. My glucose has gone up to levels I ve never had, my a1c has never been above 6, got c-diff, it s been 11.3 and 12 today.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it seems to have different medical condition you have and non of them are related with each other for the high blood sugar level it needs to be ruled out for diabetes and it is being treated accordingly and the same would be for other conditions, if there is infection so that needs to be taken care first as long as the stool culture is positive hope this information helps.
