Has anyone here developed diabetes from Lyme disease?

I was wondering if abx can kill your liver and then spawn the onset of diabetes.

Not personally, but theoretically its totally possible. Probably less of a side effect from the abx and more from the inflammation as that's what drives insulin resistance

Lyme can trigger many things, so I would say it is possible.
But I don't think it is because of the abx, I beleive it is because of Lyme itself.

Since it affects the whole body, blood sugar can be messed up. There is a glucose-adrenal connection I posted about with links a while back. Many lymies have messed up adrenals, so glucose use takes a hit too.

Seems like glucose can go up or down from this.

The better I felt/feel, the better my glucose is too. I was in pre-diabetic range, have been normal the last year. If this positive patern continues, I know for sure it was lyme - also was never overwieght either. It just "happened" in a few years, that was BEFORE ABX, so not a result of ABX.. Keep in mind I was infected 25-30 yrs ago., it took its toll.

Im not sure if my diabetes is from my lyme or not but its playing a huge role in it. I don't seem to be insulin resistant I just don't make the insulin they said im "mody" diabetes. But since I started treating my lyme my sugars have been all over the place from not taking any diabetic drugs to taking double what I normally take.
