To everyone who gave me ideas etc I feel I must update you. The night after posting this query I was admitted to hospital with BP of 211/100, heart rate circa 150. I felt very unwell and was hospitalised for a week. The situation was put down to adrenaline rushes so I am awaiting results of a...

Thanks everyone but I have not changed anything. I just did a bg test one day and realised my levels were up and since then I simply cannot control it. I follow a low carb diet. I am now feeling very unwell plus I am having adrenaline rushes which shoots my BP up. I Feel there is some connectio.

For about four years I have successfully controlled my BG and indeed my last Hba1c test 6 months ago was a reading of 41. Suddenly three months later I could no longer control my levels and last week I had a reading one day of 11.3. Just before lunch today they were 7.00. I have been so...

Oh my word, just found your post. I am not good at technology so hope this gets to you. On my birthday 20/8, I had a steroid injection in my knee. I suffered a dreadful reaction so similar you you. Today 7 weeks later I am not at all well, have now developed heavy legs and arms , still blood...

All I can say is that it has made me feel quite unwell, today my face is like a furnace , dreadful headache, racing heart and raised Blood Glucose. Never again. Had a word with the pharmacist who knew exactly what I was talking about. No antidote just ride the storm! Happy days

The arthritis was beginning to impact on my life so at 76 I thought it would give me a bit more mobility! Believe it or not the injection was actually administered on my Birthday. Some present!

Yes, I agree. I have left a message for the physio who administered the injection to contact me.

Thanks so much. Never again comes to mind! I think the injection has not agreed with my system. My heart is racing, my face is scarlet. Just will have to wait for it to pass. Let this be a lesson to others! My reading this morning was 8.3 Really appreciate your help

Thanks so much, I must admit I was pretty frightened.

Thanks for that, at least I know why! I guess it is a case of painful knee or high blood sugars for a while!!

Can anyone help? I am prediabetic, very well controlled, latest HBAC 2 weeks ago was 39. However have suffered a setback as yesterday I had a cortisone injection in my arthritic knee, felt really rotten this morning. My blood sugar has been around 10.3 all day. Can this be the cause even in a...

Thanks for that, you are a mind if information

I am so grateful for your response. I will certainly start by keeping a diary and indeed speak with my DN. Best wishes

Wow! Thanks for that. Seems highly likely to me Really appreciate your reply.

Since being diagnosed prediabetic 16 months ago I have followed a low carb diet and my last reading in August 2019 was 40 so no longer pre diabetic. I watch my diet very carefully to maintain the situation. Recently I have been suffering from occasional sudden sweating but have not thought it...
