Hi Everyone
I was recently told that my blood sugar was off the scale and should be on insulin, however, I was given 2000 metformin daily and asked to return in May. I was also given Oxytetracycline antibiotic to take due to an infection that is taking a while to heal. My blood sugar is obviously high, but will the antibiotic make it higher still ? My sister has read that antibiotics increase sugar levels, but surely the doctor wouldn't prescribe if this is true ?
