[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1802934, member: 196992"] Hi [USER=476475]@Ermintrude775[/USER] and welcome to the forum. In my experience, antibiotics can affect BGs, and they can also cause a range of side effects in people who have long term conditions. I have chronic fatigue syndrome and more, and I find I am sensitive to most medications. But when I need antibiotics it's case of trying a different one, or toughing it out because I can't afford for an infection to get worse. I have been on Fluclox several times and the difficulty is there are few good alternatives to it, outside of being a hospital inpatient. From memory, you have to take this one well before or after meals? That might make BG control even trickier. It may be worth seeking advice from your nurse or GP. If you can't access them in a reasonable time frame you may need to seek urgent care. There are also sick day rules for insulin users that you probably have on hand at home. If not, there is info about that subject in various forum threads. Hope this helps and that you feel better soon. [/QUOTE]
