Hello everyone, I wonder if anyone can give me a little advice please. I have a nasty throat infection, my GP took a sputum sample and the results came back as MRSA, I was very recently in hospital to have a cat bite treated for 5 days so it’s hospital acquired MRSA.
I am taking oral Vancomycin and am finding my blood sugars in the 20’s, I can’t seem to get them down even though I am using a significant amount of extra insulin trying to, think 10 extra units of fast acting insulin. I am Type 1 sorry I should have said that in the beginning. I am hot, sweaty and fatigued not to mention a bit bad tempered though I don’t mean to be. Can anyone please offer advice on bringing these sugar levels down before I go insane? It is so hard being Diabetic but to have a nasty infection in my throat then throw in blood sugar levels in the 20’s and I am not coping very well!
I should mention I cannot be treated with IV drugs because my local hospital is wall to wall with Covid patients.
