Any time you have your lipid panel tested (cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.), be sure to also test your fasted glucose and insulin, and your uric acid.
@@KeepitRealwithDrChad doc my triglycerides is normal and uric acid and my FBS is 72 at that time, but i have a severe diarhhea for almost 3 weeks, and my doctor put me in a antibiotics... I was amazed on that time that my HBA1C is 6.6 but my FBS is 72 😳
Antibiotics disrupt the balance of the gut microbiome. A disrupted gut microbiome can impair the production of SCFAs, leading to decreased insulin sensitivity and poor glycemic control, which can elevate HbA1c levels. Chronic low-grade inflammation (coming from LPS-producing gram-negative bacteria) is a known factor in the development of insulin resistance, which can elevate blood glucose levels and HbA1c. Disruption of the gut microbiome can also affect the secretion and function of gut hormones (like GLP-1), contributing to impaired glucose regulation. Antibiotic use has also been associated with weight gain, partly due to changes in the gut microbiome. Increased body weight and adiposity are risk factors for insulin resistance and higher HbA1c levels. So, that's a long way of saying, YES, antibiotics can influence your HbA1c levels - in a very real way.

S it true doc? That if u have a diarrhea and taking antibiotics and other medications can affect your HBA1C results? Can be false high or false low?
