I have diabetes, can lyme disease infection cause complications
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Depending on the intensity of the illness, lyme disease as will most other infections, cause a change in your baseline Insulin needs. Some who are recognised early & treated may not see more than a minimal effect. However, unrecognised illness can be quite destabalizing for the long haul.
