[QUOTE="Warriortree, post: 1515648, member: 421273"] LIfe with T2 has been pretty balanced with blood sugars well controlled by diet and sensible eating ...... crisis 4 weeks ago, rushed into hospital with severe dehydration, high temp - diagnosed with Crohns (aged 58 !) no pre symptoms, so start Prednisolone and Pentasa on a reducing dose - mmmmm steroids they can increase your blood sugars, hospital team not particularly interested, fob off. Blood sugars spike in the 20's up to 30 mmol/L where previously never higher than 10. So now starts fight to control them, but not having much luck - changing types of carbs or reducing carbs appears to have no effect on BMs. I attempt to have very little processed sugar in my diet. Now appart from a low dose of insulin to reduce blood sugar would metformin be a suitable alternative in reducing blood sugar ? As to my new life I am learning fast but not really doing much for my BM reduction with is very frustrating. Ohh yes the Crohn's appears to also have messed up my joints too ... poor me. [/QUOTE]
