[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2689576, member: 401801"] Just a guess here, but I think the steroids drive up your blood glucose, and your pancreas overreacts with its insulin output, just like it would with a spike from a carby meal... Not a whole lot you can do about it, I'm afraid, but keep the CGM handy and try to head off hypo's when they come. Normally I'd not advise glucogel or anything for RH, just a low carb diet to even out the spikes and dips, but.... The steroids can't be helped, you need those. So what you're doing now seems pretty much spot-on. I hope you'll be back to your old self quickly; cancer free. And able to treat your RH with your newly acquired knowledge. Hugs, Jo [/QUOTE]
