I have been diabetic since 2008.I was taking meds,but did not take any for the last three years controlled by diet. I started meds about 2 months ago. I felt ok at first but now I feel worse.I am not taking anymore starting today. Can the home I live in be making my sugar high, maybe the mold or mildew? I just do not feel well at all plus I had a cyst removed I thought that might have been the cause,but it has been about 8 weeks.

Hi, heres some info about how mould can affect our health, can't see anything about blood sugar but if you are being effected in other ways, this in turn could be pushing up your blood glucose as any other issues we have seem to do this as our bodies react to what it thinks is a need for more glucose to help us fight off the nasties (ironic as that is) i hope it helps
