Question : within the last week, my blood sugars at all testing times, both before and after meals, have been elevated. I just recently lost a great deal of weight (40 lbs) and been released from home health care with IV antibiotics (will now go to oral antibiotics for finishing the treatment for MRSA and out of control diabetes caused cellulitis). There seems to be no indication of continuing infection (weekly blood tests monitored by an Infectious Disease Specialist). Why would I be seeing these readings with continuing weight loss, good diet, etc?

Brief Answer:
Please, kindly report your values to me!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

To be most helpful, I will like to know what these values are. With an infection, mild elevated values can be accepted but I need to see what they are for real. Also, start whether they were done in a fasting state or not.

Kindly communicate them to me and I will follow up with you as soon as I receive them.
