Many thanks @EllieM that seems to have done the trick. Two black ones and went down to 4.0. The pink one 10 mins later worked and now 4.8.
I can sleep now.
Thought I might have gone a bit OTT in the jellybaby department. The last one took me 7.2. On waking I was 3.7. Definitely need to talk to the dn tomorrow.
I was in this exact situation. I was 'told' never go to bed if you are less than 8 by the DN. Which I was almost every night.If it were me I would certainly be seeking advice on Monday regarding lowering your dosage. As I’m sure you already know, consuming exogenous glucose in a bid to offset the effects of glucose lowering medications is undesirable.
Thanks. Totally out of my depth here. I will get some emergency biscuits later. I didn't consider the drop after the jelly babies.
1 can't lower anything at the moment. It is the prednisolone. I am on 30mg per day, due to go up to 40mg on Wednesday. My peak today was 18.4 am currently at 12 something. Running high for around 8 hours or so.It does seem crazy to be forced into eating up to your Gliclazide dose to avoid hypos. It seems to me that lowering the dosage would be the way to go. What are your levels like during the day, before and after meals? Have you made an appointment to speak to someone about it?
Sadly, jelly babies are not as nice as I remember themSo triggered by the mention of jelly babies (and juicy black ones at that). Sadly not hypo so can't justify it.
Hope you can reduce your meds and not have to worry about going too low and getting crumbs in bed from biscuit munching...
Not even the green ones.Sadly, jelly babies are not as nice as I remember them
Thank you, all the hugs are much appreciated. Going to correlate some numbers tonight so I can have a coherent discussion tomorrow. Glad I have the freestyle libre as evidence.Not even the green ones.
They were always my faves.
Though I have to admit that they wouldn’t be sufficient compensation for pred and glic. Nothing would be.
Time for another hug, i think.
So you're going way high during the day and then on the low side during the night. That's a nasty puzzle to solve I'd think.1 can't lower anything at the moment. It is the prednisolone.
