[QUOTE="crumblecookie, post: 244936, member: 37264"] I am so glad someone else has had a bad reaction to a steroid injection ( sorry that sounds rotten but I'm sure you know what I mean) My doctor has put on my notes that I am allergic so it will be red carded when I have to go into hospital and like you SueR I never want to go through that again. I hope your reaction didn't last too long mine lasted for 2 weeks, some days terrible some days not too bad. Thanks also MaryJ for your help. I did try to test regularly at first then after visiting the DN I got the" can't be bothered bug" because of how she treated me. I have spoken to my Dr and he is happy for me to test and has said when I need strips I can order them. His opinion is that that the more regularly you test the more you learn about your body and how diabetes affects it. Seems as though I am a lucky one as other people in the same boat as me ( diet only ) have not been allowed to test. Some people have even bought their own meter/test strips. I know they are expensive but I do feel we should be given them. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
