The only other cause could be because I am in severe pain. But, I have never done insulin and had absolutely no reaction like I did last night... I am baffled.
I haven't changed anything. It could be a pure coincidence. I will monitor throughout the day, but it would be interesting to see if others have had the same effect.
Thank you, I read a lot on doctor Google, and as a type 1 diabetic I am curious because my doctor wants me to take it long-term. I just don't trust Dr. Google all that much, cause if I did pretty certain I would have 2 days to live haha.
Personally, I would not be willing to risk the possibility of a coincidence. If I was seeing unexplained highs, I would be changing my insulin straight away. I think of it as s small cost to pay for peace of mind and to discount a possible cause.
I am just going to monitor, it could be the fact I was in intense pain or it could be the Amatrypteline. I have been on this insulin for 21 years, so I very much doubt it is the insulin. Will see how it goes in the next few days, it's finally come down to 12, so hopefully I just need to adjust doses whilst on this new medication.
Thank you, yeah I have it for abdominal migraines and it has help subside then intense pain. Thanks you for reccomdation.
I have been taking Amitriptyline for 5 years for abdominal migraine and it is a life-saver. I thought there might be some effect on the Metformin I started taking in April. My GP has now changed me to Gliclazide as Metformin was no help and made no difference to BG levels. The Gliclazide is much more effective with BG levels and I have had no issues with it or the Amitryptaline. My BMI and blood pressure are within the normal range.
