Sorry, I wasn't sure where the right place to post this might be... I'll be happy to re-post in the correct category if I was wrong!
Just a quick question. I'm 17 and I've only JUST been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes around 6 weeks ago. I developed pretty bad thrush as a result of my high blood sugar and bought the Canesten Oral & Cream Duo. However, I realise now that one of the main ingredients in the pill is lactose?
Obviously I'm not suggesting taking insulin to cover my one tiny thrush pill, but am I right in thinking that this could affect my blood sugar a little bit? My glucose control still isn't great and I'd rather know if my blood glucose levels are high later because my ratios are still wrong, or if this could have affected it - e.g, I don't want to change my ratios only to be wrong again and discover it was a one-off reading because of the lactose in the pill.
Any input would be appreciated! Thank you!
