Response:
Yes. I know it is not an antibiotic. It is an anti-inflammatory. Just wanted to share that it seemed to cause my BGS to go up as well as celebrex–another anti-inflammatory. Thank you. Memory

My understanding is that anti-intiflammatory items will raise BG. I also understand they will not cure infections but give symptomatic relief. The should be used with care. Guy

There was a good Swiss study as to why some problems became worse when antibiotics were used. That was followed by improvement. The reasons given was that our body responds to components of the pathogen. These increase when the antibiotic becomes effective. Long lost the article. Infections produce gross changes in blood sugar in my case. I see infection development in blood sugars before other symptoms. Guy

Hmmm… I took Keflex only once and broke out head to toe in hives. Wasn’t a diabetic then (or at least I don’t think so), but they did take my BG while I was in the hospital and it wasn’t high. — Type 2 http://users.bestweb.net/~jbove/

I had the same problem with Keflex exactly! It was not the infection as I have the same problem when I take E-mycin for gastroparesis. The Bg goes sky high. The doc said it was due to the antibiotic and that he had seen this happen an number of times. Zbrigid

I used Keflex for an extended period of time last year after a surgical incision would not heal. After the infection died down, my BG’s improved. I still took Keflex for another week or so after things had cleared up. (I am one of the few who finish their anti-biotics I guess) and my Bg’s stayed in control. Just anecdotal evidence, I know.

I believe Micki is not the first person I’ve seen anecdotally reporting an effect on BG by antibiotics. There are a variety of meds which can affect BG. Yes, infection can raise BG, but that doesn’t mean that NO antibiotic will.

My guess is that it is the infection causing the high BG and not the antibiotic. I went through a very bad patch of having infections on my legs due to misdiagnosis of what I have. The Drs. kept telling me it was psoriasis when in fact it was something due to a vein problem. So the veins continued to leak blood, my legs continued to swell and the only thing I was ever told to do was apply a steroid cream. My legs looked worse and worse. I suspected an infection, yet none of my Drs. would do anything about it. They merely told me to see a dermatologist. I did, eventually. But I had a hard time getting in to see one. As it turned out, my legs were indeed infected! In the meantime, my BG had been raging out of control. My Endo. prescribed Starlix and that helped a bit to get the BG down. But I was still fighting high BG until I went on antibiotics and the infection cleared. Unfortunately, I continued to have problems with this off and on until I finally saw different Dr. who gave me a correct diagnosis. — Type 2 http://users.bestweb.net/~jbove/

Hi gang, I got a thumbnail infection about 11/2 wks ago, my bg’s were great, during that time. The doc’s thought that I should have a course of Keflex (antibodic), started them on Wed… and one hour after taking the pill, my bg’s rose up to 279, and stayed in the area for the next 4 hours. I am on th pump, so did all the checks , changed the site, and the whole set up, plus gave myself SQ injections…..no ketones , but still high. Called the NE last nite and she has me adjusting my basal rates and increased the units for the meal boluses…….still having the high bg’s. She thought that I am having some kind of reaction on a cellular level, that is causing this problem…due to allergies this is the only antibodics that I can take. Anyone have any thoughts on this, or have you ever heard of this problem? My meals have remained the same thru out the whole time I have been on the pump, that was started on March 23rd. I will be in daily contact with the NE,,,,just was wondering if anyone else has had such a problem!! Mic Always, be, and stay AWARE!
