Hi,
I've just been given a five day course of Prednisolone 30mcg a day along with 500mcg Amoxil 3x a day. Took my steroids at lunch time yesterday and two of the antibiotics and woke up with my blood sugar at 7.2! That's really high for me, normally a bad result would be 6.0 - I've always had a tendency to have a highish morning reading.
I became T2 eighteen months ago after being on a 3 month course of Prednisolone for RA but I discovered LCHF, bought a blood sugar meter and ate my way out of it. I'm really worried now that I become T2 again.
When I was grumbling about the steroids my other half reminded me of someone we know who is T1 and whose bloods were wrecked ( I think only for a while) when he was given antibiotics.
Does anyone have experience of this and if so what happened. Any advice would be more than welcome. All I can think of is to be really strict on the LCHF.
Thanks in advance, Lizzie
