[QUOTE="cakerack, post: 1528819, member: 427427"] Hello everyone! I'm new here but just thought I would post my experiences of Type 2 diabetes and how it was (positively) affected by a recent course of antibiotics and see if anyone has any suggestions as to what has been going on. I have been diabetic for about 15 years and on insulin for 2. I take 2 x 1000 Metformin a day, 14 units of Novorapid with every meal and 28 units of Lantus before bed. Before I went on insulin, my blood sugars were all over - average readings were between 15 and 20 with a HBA1C of 12.9 :-O So typically, my blood sugars had been anything from 10 to 16 regularly - I had to pretty much starve myself to get them below 10. Then about 8 weeks ago I got Sepsis and was taken into hospital where they pumped me full of antibiotics to try and clear the blood poisoning. I was in hospital for 5 days, and since I came out, my bloods are between 5 and 7! And I haven't changed a thing! Almost like a reset button has been pressed. Is this normal? I am now into my 4th week of my bloods not once been above 10. Any insight into what has caused this would be much appreciated. Cheers Sean [/QUOTE]
