Dear sir I understand your concern.
I am sorry to hear you have been having difficulties getting your blood sugar in the normal range now. I am very happy you are this conscientious because having a well controlled blood sugar is very important in preventing the onset of diabetic complications.
In my opinion what your doctor said is correct,if infection is there sugars will increase.
But the question i am not able to get why doctor is not able to control infection with antibiotics.
i need to have some more information to assist you better.
1.what is age of patient
2.duration of diabetes
3. currently what medication she is on
4.since how days she is having infection
