One gets elevated blood sugar figures due to infection, how much time is required to remove this artificial impact.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elevated blood sugar: Very insightful of you to recognize this. This is the effect of cortisol and other stress hormones that are somewhat protective but magnified in a diabetic. It should slowly return to normal after the inciting event is gone. It should improve as your infection does.
