HBA1C 7.3 & ESR 20
Had a monkey bite on elbow & 8 stitches dated 27th March'21. Since then sugar readings are high- fasting140 & after 2hrs of lunch 250-300. Prior to this episode sugar was under control. Last HBA1C was 6.9
Kindly suggest what to follow now & could monkey bite medicine & injections can cause high sugar spikes?how are his reports?
HbA1C has worsened from the previous level and the current readings are high. Monkey bite by itself doesn’t affect sugars. Medications such as steroids ( oral or injectable) that may have been prescribed after a bite can elevated sugars.

The sugar levels are high. U need to consult a Diabetologist with details of ur current medicines and get a fresh prescription. There is nothing specific about monkey bite but any kind of stress on body can lead to high sugar levels
