I don't think being diabetic should have anything to do with a reaction to the antibiotic.   Is he allergic to any other antibiotcs?              I have seen this given fairly frequently at the hospital where I work and can't saw have seen too  many allergoes to it.      Cheryl R.

In my case it was the steroids I took after the surgery that caused my blood sugar to shoot up. I am not a diabetic and one shot of insulin helped me quickly.
