Type 2 Can blood transfusion correct blood sugars

[CarolOssai]

Hi
I had a hip replacement in December 2016 and needed to have 2 blood transfusions..
By the third day I noticed that hypos were occurring at least twice a day.
When I got home 9 days later I noticed that my sugar levels where between 5 and 6; night time readings where no higher than 7 before bed.
I decided to find out if this was a fluke so i took 1.2 Victoza in the morning. I happily dug into cake and custard and had as couple of chocolate bars (delicious) in the afternoon.
I did not take novorapid after. I did not test myself until 10pm prior to having my nighttime insulin Lanctus @40 units.
To my surprise my blood sugar reading was 9.1 instead of 7, so it didn't really go too high.

Prior to my operation my hba1c was 55, this week its come back at 43..
I am absolutely confused but happy.

Can anyone explain what happened or have you experienced this.

So far I have stopped novorapid as the hypos where happening everyday.
Help please.

well that is so fine

maybe it can correct blood glucose, please report back to the doctors treating you or maybe give the idea to some scientists... there could be some trace-body chemicals that regulate blood glucose that have been overlooked till now... and maybe you have found a kind of cure that no-one has ever thought of before...

I have in the past had IVig (Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy for Myasthenia Gravis this being a way of replacing the antibodies that cause it with healthy ones this may be a similar effect. Unfortunately the improvement provided is not long lived lasting at best a few months or weeks, if this is the case make the most of it while you have it best of luck.
