Message: <blockquote data-quote="etabgeo" data-source="post: 1049808" data-attributes="member: 199684">I am very interested in this topic which apparently was part of a programme last evening.  The idea of your gut bacteria being responsible for blood spikes could very well apply to me.Last June I had a major vascular operation involving my aorta and pelvis.  Before my operation the average reading for my bloods was around 7 consistently.  Since my operation my blood sugars have been sky high and currently my numbers are regularly around 15 on average and this is despite me taking 100 units of insulin a day, which is 3 times what I was previously taking.Since my operation I have had to have 4 or 5 courses of antibiotics which obviously has affected my gut bacteria.Could this new topic be the answer to my blood sugar spiking I wonder.  Anyone have any views?Because of my high level of insulin, my weight has ballooned by 14 kilos and I am not happy.</blockquote>
