Evening all,
I suffer with hyperglycaemia when I have to take steroids (prednisolone) normally 40mg a day used to combat issues with my asthma. I'd asked my GP how high is high, when I should ask for help and was advised anything over 20mmoL/l and that I should consult NHS 111. Well I hit 20.8 so filled out the online form which gives you the following choices:
No problem, they did phone back around 3am and I finally had a clinician call just now but missed it as my phone automatically blocked the call. The message left was that they were going to close the case. Ok, fair enough but, in am still in hyper land. Therefore, my question is this;
As a Type 2 on insulin (Humulin), metformin and dapagliflozin if, my sugar levels are high as advised by my GP, is there a short term 'fix' to bring down levels quickly (I don't think there is)? Or what should I be doing? The current medication works fine and generally keeps things in order but the steroids create mischief.
