Hello,
Lovaza(Omega 3 fatty acid) and Red yeast rice will the increase the the blood sugar.
But presence of infection(Ear infect) may cause increase in the blood sugar.
On the other hand uncontrolled blood with prolong the infection and healing.
Control the infection with antibiotic and blood sugar with medications.
