Bongela and BG

[Browser]

After a holiday in Spain where my BG was kicked around a bit due to circumstances, it was starting to level out again. My fasting numbers are usually in the sixes and at the start of this week it was still a bit high but improving. This morning I was surprised to read 8.9. I hadn’t eaten anything out of the ordinary yesterday but I remembered that I had taken regular doses of Bongela for a gum ulcer. Is it likely that regular tiny applications of this medication could cause a big jump in BG?

Sounds a bit unlikely due the very small amounts used but there’s always the chance. Perhaps it was the underlying infection which raised your levels a bit?

You can buy sugar free Bonjela I understand if you continue to need it in the future.

The other thing to consider is that any infection, including a mouth ulcer, usually causes blood glucos levels to rise, whatever treatment you use.
