Has anyone noticed a connection between lows and antibiotics? I think it is happening to me. I have had several almost serious lows in the 4 days of taking the Bactrim DS for my leg. I have stay low to normal all the time, but it seems like within an hour of taking these pills, I start going really low. Yesterday, I test when I started feeling low, and was at 57. I ate a couple pieces of candy, and tested 15 minutes later and was 48. I ate a sandwich, some more candy and finally got it to 72. The rest of the afternoon, I stay betwen 90 and 100. Then I took the second days pill, and it started all over. I did not wait to get so low this time, testing 15 minutes after the pill and was at 64, 15 minutes later down to 57 again. Usually an infection or illness causes me to be high, so I am thinking it has to be the antibiotics. I will continue the course with them, I want to get this thing off my leg, but will monitor closer.
