Can Not Eating Due To Discomfort In Throat After Tonsillectomy Affect Blood Sugar Levels?
I had a tonsillectomy 25 days ago and since then I have not been able to eat much as everything I try tastes horrible and after a couple bites of anything my tongue feels sore. I take metformin 500mg twice daily and I m worried that because I m hardly eating anything and just drinking water and juices can this affect my blood sugars

I don't find any correlation of tonsillectomy with your taste..u should consult an ENT specialist for your problem and also to check whether any residual tonsil left
