Mucormycosis
Sir/ madam,
I have discharged from hospital after recovering from Covid 6 days ago, my sugar levels are FBS-330, PPBS-329, HBA1C-10.3 . I am non diabetic previously but now blood sugars increased and feeling very weak . Fron today started tablets of Glycomet-GP2, Janumet 50/500.
What is the incubation period for this mucormycosis to attack me because of this steroid usage and high blood sugar..
Please clear this doubt

Ur sugars are high needs to b controlled asap. As of now inspite taking tablet ur sugar is high u may need to start on insulin. Not all people on steroids get mucormycosis. It usually multifactorial. Typically incubation period for cutaneous mucormycosis is 1 to 2 weeks. Controlling sugars should b ur first priority. Kindly consult
