Type 1 Antibiotic Doubts

[Blue_Star]

I have been taking winex( cephalosporin) 400mg once daily for the treatment of a small abscess type skin problem and have noticed slightly high levels of blood sugar when I test before meals. Could this medicine be causing sugar to go high? Does this type of antibiotic have any effect on diabetes?

hi there @Blue_Star
if you are taking antibiotics this would mean your GP has diagnosed an infection...........I would suggest it is the infection that would be causing the raised BG's.

here is the type 1 sick day rules.......perhaps have a look.............http://www.nhslanarkshire.org.uk/Se...Sick Day Rules for Type 1 Diabetes Oct 16.pdf
