Default Antibiotics and blood glucose rise

Hi all,
I've been doing research on amoxicillin and a rise in blood glucose levels and yes, there does seem to be a connection. I also read that it resolves when the course of anabiotics is finished. I am interested in your thoughts. I started amoxicillin for an infected salivary gland and by day five my fasting blood glucose was 135 compared to 105 before treatment. Also after eating glucose is higher 137 versus 110. My blood glucose levels are rising the more days on biotics and yet the infection is resolving the more days I am on anabiotics. I have my kimchi and sauerkraut growing on the kitchen counter and my probiotics and prebiotics all ready for intestine rehab. I'd like to know what you think, what your experiences are, and what your research has found.
Leslie

My blood sugar is very hard to control when I'm on antibiotics...but it could be because of the infection, not the meds.

I think you are right that the blood glucose rise was from illness. It ended up being mumps! And I'm 60 so was really sick. Still all the great fasting meant blood glucose levels never went above 140. Now that I'm well levels are back to normal. They put me
on antibiotics which I didn't need as it was viral but, oh well. Taking vitacost probiotics am and prescript assist pm (these anaerobic probiotics really got hit), and homemade saurercraut during the day.

Wow, I haven't heard of a case of the mumps in a long time. I'm glad you are better!
