When I am ill my BG is higher than normal, if your are being given anti-biotics then I suppose you must have some sort of infection? This may well be raising your BG's. So it is probably the lowering of the infection in your body which is lowering you BG's not the anitbiotics as such.

I am unsure where the dividing line between low and reduced carb is, and I would have no idea where exactly I fall on the line. I eat very little rice or potatoes, and no bread or pasta at all. I am not very strict with myself over checking the carbs in cheeses as they are one of my main...
