[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 912911, member: 43498"] Welcome to the forum. I don't know much about steroids, but others here do, and I am sure they will pop in and say something about them. I also don't know much about gliclazide but I'm not sure it is meant to reduce blood glucose to the extent you need it to, if you aren't also looking at what you eat, or you haven't been correctly diagnosed. How long have you been taking the medication? It's very important for people with T2 diabetes to reduce carbs and sugar in their diet. A chest infection can increase blood glucose levels, but 22-25 does seem quite high. I have heard of people having their urine tested for ketones if their blood glucose is that high, as it can indicate a serious problem needing urgent treatment. I could be wrong about that though. I will tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] as she has some good info for people new to the forum that she can provide for you. [/QUOTE]
