Not great, sat at a&e most of the day, blood tests confirmed still got an infection, b/s did come down to 21 but hospital wouldn’t do anything as didn’t want to give me any insulin as they thought b/ s would come toon too quickly & I’d ent up in the 2’s & be unconscious, suggested I wait until Monday & ring DSN (already left a message) 111 said not to be alone, to have my phone with me & call for help if I get breathing difficulties
Had steroids before & not affected b/s, this time 2 doses, quadruple medication & it went from 6 to 24.3, obvs not taking any more
Hope you & your family are all doing ok
