How long might a diabetic patient (type 1) be in hospital while receiving antibiotics IV?

No more than anyone else on intravenous antibiorics. It's not as if antibiotics have anything to do with diabetes. While at the hospital, their meals will be planned and insulin will be injected on a sliding scale so a diabetic patient may be better off in hospital as they would be forced to control their glucose levels. They usually make me peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the night time insulin shot.

I completely agree with gazeygoo. I've been a type 1 diabetic for 27 years and just recently (past couple of years) had some pretty bad infections. I got MRSA and was on antibiotics for 6 weeks. I also recently got some bad infections in an open sore on my foot and have been on antibiotics for 3 weeks and it may be longer. It just depends on the infection. My control is excellent, but I still have to be on them for a while. Unfortunately as diabetics, things affect us differently than the rest of the population. Good luck with everything and watch the blood sugars

There are two main types of diabetes- type 1 diabetes in which the body does not produce insulin and type 2 diabetes in which the body does not produce enough insulin or the insulin that is produced does not work properly.

Some of the common symptoms of diabetes include fatigue, weight loss (even though you are eating more), excessive thirst, increased urination, cut and bruises that are slow to heal and blurred vision.

While there is no cure for diabetes, with your blood sugar level under control you can live a totally normal life. There are various natural remedies for diabetes that will help you control your blood sugar level.

Not enough information, what type of antibiotic, what type of infection, how well controlled is this diabetic, age of patient, other health related issues etc etc.

Usually 1-2 weeks (My cousin has diabetes and Cystic Fibrosis)

It could be as little as just a few days.
