Hi there, I have had three strep throat infections over the last six to seven weeks and have had antibiotics ach time (just started my third course yesterday) whe the doctor checked my blood yesterday it showed my blood sugar level at 8 and he said that this was too high and he would have to check it again after fasting. My question is are there any inks between a strep throat and raised blood sugar levels andalso why would I keep getting repeted throat infections. Tank you for your help Camillus
Usually there is no relation between streptococcal throat infection and raised blood sugar levels. Please get it done fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar levels and hbA1c and review with reports.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
