It is quite possible that amoxicillin can raise your blood glucose levels, though this has not been fully scientifically confirmed.

Insulin is used to monitor the levels of blood sugar in diabetics. It can be diagnosed with a blood test.
There are various trusted medical websites that provide a plethora of information in regards to diabetics and blood sugar levels. Some of the most popular are WebMD and Mayo Clinic.
