[QUOTE="Q007, post: 2054881, member: 73045"] Thanks for the reply, actually no they warned us off "sugar free, for diabetics, " products and taught us how artificial sweeteners work. The course was eight weeks long so we covered a lot of ground, its just how things have been for me over the past year has erased most of what I learned, which is a shame. So I'm sorry but this is why I'm bothering yourselves with subject matter I have once learned, sorry. What I dont get is why my night fast reading is still 10 or more. I just can't work that out at all and I'm so frustrated and worried. When I was in hospital last week the clinical director was on walk about and spent a lot of time with me whilst in resus. He was a straight shooter which I appreciate. He said elevated BG or poorly managed diabetes together with heart failure is a recipe for a disaster. I couldn't live with having a stroke which he said was more likely due to the number of stents they fitted and where they're placed. I guess this is why I'm so twitchy and trying to get bgs down, my fingertips are so sore already. I've been looking at my drugs I take and benzodiazapines raise bgs and I take 38mgs a day of those. Pregabalin isn't diabetic friendly either, I'm studying the rest. My script list has 15 items so I take a lot of meds to keep me going. Pregabalin, I've found, causes weight gain as it suppresses brain signals that tell us we're full, that answers why I'm grazing or looking for something to eat all the time. I read that you should wash your hands before testing, is that true also? So much to take in. With night fast readings of around 10, is that a signal my pancreas has resigned? I'd rather know. Such a long post, I'm sorry. Qx [/QUOTE]
