    I have been on steroids for about twenty years and though they induced my diabetes and I cannot stop taking them with diet I have still managed to reduce my blood sugars so it is possible

    Someone mentioned, it but just to clarify. Some meters, including GlucoRx Nexus (I have one so I know) flash Ketone? warning when the BG is above a certain level. BG above 15 from memory but I haven't had a level that high for a few weeks now. On mine it has a question mark against it. It hasn't detected Ketones, its just because the BG is so high it thinks you might have Ketones and should check.

    Have you checked the level of carbohydrates in the prebiotic tabs? Do they weigh enough that that weight of pure sugar would have a definite effect on your readings?
