[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1802950, member: 468714"] [B]I suspect it is more likely that the infection for which your have been prescribed antibiotics is the culprit.[/B] Infection is a stress on the body and that stress causes insulin to be less effective. In other words [I]infection tends to increase insulin resistance,[/I] until the infection is cured. [B][I]So the antibiotics are the innocent party.[/I][/B] I find [B]with an infection I need to increase my insulin, in the past basal and bolus regime and now insulin pump by at least 20% and often higher[/B] ( e.g. after a flu vaccination, which is another kind of 'infection' the body has to deal with, my total dosage is > 30 % for 4 days at least). I only know that the infection is getting much better when my blood sugars start to fall further and hypos become imminent. [/QUOTE]
