[QUOTE="Poodlelady, post: 225288, member: 37131"] Thank you all for your response. In desperation a friend insisted on taking me to hospital when my sugar levels refused to come down from the rafters of over 30mmol. Guess what? They told me to see my doctor and chucked me out!! I went to see my doctor the next morning and was very nicely treated and told to increase my insulin by 2 units each day. Then lo and behold the DN phoned me and lied about trying to contact me as the phone did not ring from her. She then told me to double up my insulin and to phone her back on Friday (tomorrow). I do wonder if someone had a word in her ears as she was not condesending nor did she treat me in the usual way as if I was a silly old woman. The steroids are not helping my diabetes but are helping with the PMR. However, my sugar levels are still quite high and I am hoping by increasing the insulin every few days I will eventually get it under control. I am so pleased I saw a doctor who took everything in account at my surgery. She was not my usual doctor, but will be from now on. I just wish I didn't feel so tired all the time. [/QUOTE]
