Tequin usage associated with 17 times more risk of high blood sugar

Tequin usage associated with 17 times more risk of high blood sugar: "'What we found was that people taking gatifloxacin had more than a fourfold increase in the risk of being treated in hospital for low blood sugar than people who were on other antibiotics,' said Dr David Juurlink, a clinical pharmacologist at Sunnybrook and a co-author of the paper that is to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine later this month. 'And the people on gatifloxacin had almost 17 times more risk of developing high blood sugar,' he added." [Earthtimes]
