Type 1 Nystatin and High Sugar Levels

[stevenhorr]

Does anybody here have experience with Nystatin or other antifungals? An extensive test from an expensive lab showed that I have a ton of yeast in my body, which I think has something to do with my CFS-like post-exertional fatigue and brain fog. I am on the smallest possible doses of the Nystatin (1 ml, three times daily), and my blood sugars are through the roof! I already tried earlier this summer, and had to stop because of high blood sugars. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with such things...

Thanks in advance!

1ml of nystan 3 times a day would not cause through the roof blood sugar rises. Sounds as if you have something else going on there.
Have you looked into taking probiotics so that the healthy bacteria can be restored in your body? There are plenty available in capsule form to choose from. Have a chat with your GP about it.

Thanks for responding. I have been taking high quality probiotics for quite awhile now. I have little doubt that the Nystatin is somehow causing my highs because they begin when I take the drug and then my bg levels normalize when I stop. I wonder if it could have something to do with my liver, as I suspect the toxic load of this stuff dying might overwhelm it and maybe cause it to dump glucose or something...?

Hi I am a parent of T1D kid and we are about to start Nystatin. Will let you know how it impacts BG. Did you quit taking ? She is supposed to be on it for 30 days.

Someone please correct me here ...

Isn’t this just a classic symbiotic situation?

Fungus invaded the body

Mycotoxins from fungus and diet (soooo many processed foods contain mycotoxins) plus immunocompromistation from antibiotics / physical or mental trauma help to allow the mycotoxins to cause diabetes

Yeast has fun eating all the blood sugar it created

You kill the yeast so it is not eating blood sugar

And you wonder why your sugar levels are high?

Killing the fungus now prob won’t help your diabetes as the damage is done

And with the high sugar levels we have it will always come back.

But reducing the mycotoxin load from the yeast AND from your diet will likely have at least some - if not many health benefits

Many diseases of our age are linked in some way / demonstrably made worse by mycotoxins

It’s the life we have unfortunately :-((

On that cheery note I bid you adieu from NZ
