I've been a type 1 diabetic for almost 17 years, and I just found out back in Feb. that I have the herpes. Does anyone know that if herpes can affect the blood sugar levels?

Hi I am your same jposition. But I have had herpes for 12 years and diabetes for 1 and half years. I never thought about it affecting my numbers. Please request me as a friend if you want so we can talk if you want.

Herpes is an infection and like any other infection, yes it may in fact cause your BG to rise.

From what I've read of the symptoms of herpes, and what I know of diabetes ("DM") I would say there's a good chance of it raising yout Blood glucose numbers ("BG#s"). It may not, as every person with diabetes is different. Here's a multipage website from the NIH on herpes: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/genital_herpes...

I pray you get it treated, and get it controlled.

Blessings to you and yours
