Hello,
I have had high reading for the past few days but today could feel it, felt very thirsty indeed and was 18.9. Tested later 25 (highest yet,) and then hour later 23.9 then 3 hours later as felt the same and its sat at 23.9. I had yoghurts nuts seeds breakfast and then a bacon roll lunch with few Doritos (bit naughty dont usually eat bread) and then olives tomatoes cheese dinner as not v hungry.
I’m drinking loads, will this help flush it out? I’ve now run out of test strips! Went to pharmacy earlier in the day asking what I can do as running high and whether they had my brand strips, no! Whether they had ketones strips (this website said if running over 15 to check for them?) and they don’t have any! So felt that was a waste of time.
Last time saw Dr I’d explained I’m still getting high readings and she asked if I’d started the Pioglitazone, I said not yet, to which she said ah because of the side effects.
This website shows the drug company where fined for destroying evidence! And there’s an 83% increase in getting bladder cancer if take it for over a year! That seems shockingly high! Does anyone else take Pioglitazone?
I’m going try sleep and hopefully wake up with lower levels! Just really fed up...and thirsty!
