It's new so you may not have known about it. Holler if you want more info about it! The pharmacist was especially helpful!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07804715974261461737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-665865978387181252010-04-15T10:10:30.491-07:002010-04-15T10:10:30.491-07:00Laura, we only see these ginormous spikes in her B...Laura, we only see these ginormous spikes in her BG a few hours after she get her antibiotics. The rest of the day, she's in normal range. I gotta blame the meds in this case. Although it could be because it's flavoured... who knows?Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-52931171431666359592010-04-15T10:02:31.780-07:002010-04-15T10:02:31.780-07:00I was told that it is the infection that makes the...I was told that it is the infection that makes their bg go up not the antibiotics. I don't know myself because I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV - - -just passing on the information that I was given.<br /><br />Get well, get well soon. We want you to get well soon!<br /><br />Ok, I decided to sing the song again since I didn't have a chance to bring over a Get Well cake.LaLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278430665049354027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-25707712012934971362010-04-14T16:57:13.079-07:002010-04-14T16:57:13.079-07:00Oh dear.

I did a little research and all I could find was that it had 5g carbs per dose. Whatever. I tried adding 5g, 10g, .... NOTHING worked to keep it from wreaking havoc on her bg. And the MOST frustrating part was that it didn't always do that. Sometimes bg would be fine. We tried doing temp basals after each dose- which DID help- but did not totally work. The next time she got strep, we were given Cefdinir- because I asked for ANYTHING else. I was even considering getting capsules and emptying them into food. This new medicine is white and I was told it was also used to treat pneumonia. It did not have the same effect on bg. Her bg was higher, due to the infection - I guess, but not in the same way it was with the pink stuff. <br />Good Luck, friend! It sucks! I hope this helps and she feels better soon!!!Hallie Addingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11331775099035220917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-15963534223422067452010-04-14T14:43:07.643-07:002010-04-14T14:43:07.643-07:00Do you have a correction factor that you use?

Be conservative, but maybe just add a tinge and try to reign in this wild ride!<br /><br />Good luck! Hugs to you and Elise, and YAY!!
