Received a voicemail whilst on holiday. My latest result is 44 and I am delighted. I knew it would be higher than Freestyle estimate of 38 because I get readings of 3s and sometimes 2s. A finger prick always shows I am in the 4s.
The nurse thinks that 44 is too low and I am in danger of hypos. This is because I am using insulin to try and control the steroids. Honestly, they just don't get it. I don't bolus for carbs because I rarely eat them. I take insulin when I see the steroids kicking in. Sometimes I get it wrong and go higher than I would like, but that's life.
Happy to report freestyle estimates 34 currently (add 6 =40) so trending downward. I have worked darned hard to get it down from 58 when I first started on the steroids.
Not phoned her back.
