Q: Previous Medication Question
asked by: Stan on April 6th, 2006

Anyone here, before getting hypoglycemia, ever take any of the following (for a long time):

1. Antibiotics (especially high-dose)

2. Accutane

3. Other than number 2, any medication where they have to frequently check your liver function to make sure it's working right.

Back in december last year, I took doxycycline (100mg twice a day) for a month, during which time I took my glucose tolerance test.

Are antiibiotics related to hypoglycemia?

Just curious about this because of two things. Since my liver was enflamed and this is what set my hypoglycemia in overdrive, I always wondered if the accutane had something to do with it. In addition, I had taken high-dose antibiotics before I got really sick, about a month or so before in fact. I'm not saying they're related to it, but upsetting the bacterial balance may indeed be one of the major causes of it.

I had a co-worker who was hypoglycemic for years and she recently did a round of antibiotics for a sinus infection. She said after she was done with the antibiotic her hypoglycemia went away. Weird.

Not entirely weird, research is showing now that high-dose antibiotics can do more harm than good, they're trying to work out medicines that focus on bad bacteria without harming the good.
