Can antibiotics affect insulin reading ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotic effects: Yes, certain antibiotics can affect your glucose level and consequently your insulin levels. If you have diabetes, be sure your prescriber takes this into consideration when an antibiotic is needed. Some antibiotics have little to no effect on glucose, so there may be options with fewer adverse effects.
