Thanks @Liam1955 = I have also done some research and found the page below ... which confirms what you have posted. I am not going to worry too much about my levels at the moment - am seeing the specialist next Friday to discuss the results of the scan I had on my shoulder ...

Hi there all - hope everybody is enjoying our summer - enjoy it whilst we have it. Anyways - I was just wondering if anyone had had a steroid injection and knew how long it lasts in the system. My Levels are all over the shop and my arm pain is returning (ie Steroid injection wearing off) -...

It took me about 10 months to get from 123.5 to 40 (Dec last year) Not doing too well at the moment though as although I still walk, I have had to cancel gym membership due to an injiry in my arm which can wake me at night - i am on painkillers etc ... hopefully if I can have my scan as...

I am fine - great news about you though - being able to start your life again by starting to be able to exercise - that is really great.

I used to suffer from almost nightly cramp - but (touch wood) have not had cramp in many months. I think what helped me was that I walk almost daily ... I used to always have a tube of Ibuprofen handy (which seemed to help) I think a lot of people get cramps, its not necessarily down to being...

When I was diagnosed I was off the scale at 141 .... but quickly managed to come down I was initially on Gliclazide and Metformin - I walk daily and went to the gym/aqua aerobics a couple of times a week My GP thought I may have to go on insulin (he told me months later) but wanted to try...

I use Firefox browser and have Adblock - I dont see any adverts on any site ...(well, a few get past on FB)

I am fine - I am still doing OK despite the Christmas thing. I just pop on and look at this thread in particular to see how everyone is doing. I am still walking daily - but have felt ill the last 2 times after I went to aqua aerobics then the steam room ... so gave myself a day off today and...

That reading is very high - I had to promise the doc that if my reading reached 25 - I would admit myself to the hospital. I was put on 4x metformin and 160 g of Gliclazide when I was diagnosed with similar readings to yours. Do you test regularly - what are your daily readings. Above all -...

Loved reading back through all this - sounds as though you guys n gals had a rockin good night ....

No ... he is wondering whether my diabetes was as bad as he thought or something as there was such a difference from diagnosis 8 months ago (141% off the scale) to 40% now ....

Just got back from a GP appt ... he is now wondering about my original test results Love surprising the doc (bless him) .... Hope things get better for you in new year @ickihun x

Is there any way you could phone the GP and a nurse come round and check him out (or a GP of course) ... As he has so many things at the moment, they may well do a home visit as they can see from his records that all may not be well Good luck

One of the main things I do, is not to worry too much about fasting blood sugars ... they are just really weird and I don't like to have a bite before bed to try and prevent dawn phenomenon ... Illness is an odd one - I have been ill this afternoon, so perhaps there was already an indication...

Odd this diabetes lark .... Tested last night before bed and was happy with 5.3 Got up - had a shower etc - then decided to test tolerance again to porridge (I got hypo 3 hrs after eating it last time) .... I was 7.5 before eating and 8.7 two hours after . Do you ever get used to the...

I know the feeling. I had been doing the 5:2 for a couple of weeks and felt sure I would have lost weight as I had been very good (for me) ... together with the walking and water aerobics ... was not happy when in week 3 I had actually put on a kilo ....

Brilliant results .... I love a big bowl of soup - I will see if I can make something this weekend ... just in time for the cold weaher .... Well done :) ... its all so trial and error

Did you check your levels? You do need to check. I had a HUGE bowl of porridge about 8 am this morning and had a Metformin pill ... just tested as I am feeling dizzy and shakey .... 4.3 (for me that is a hypo) ... without checking you won't be able to tell for sure. I've just taken jelly...

I was too late .... they already have enough testers ...
