[QUOTE="KarenGG, post: 2305344, member: 522935"] I don’t know how to complete my profile, think I answered all the questions but I’ll try and work it out. I was told in hospital first I was T1, and on insulin when I came out of DKA, but then they changed me to tablets so assumed they class me as T2, atm I’m only on 10mg prednisone and that has been a stable dose for about 3 years, I have a condition called pyoderma gangrenosum (sort of arthritis in the skin) so I will always be on prednisone, I was rushed out of hospital just as Covid got serious and were discharging as many as they could. I’m under the care of hospital diabetes nurse because first of DKA and I’m under endocrinologist as I have vit D deficiency and anemia, my GP has no clue and the nurse was sending out ‘useful information’ to them about anemia and A1c levels, I need to be re-admitted for further tests but of course atm that won’t happen until later, I also have kidney damage from the DKA that I need to be seen for too. I just don’t know when I need to consider my BG serious as was only told about the ketones limits, which are ok [/QUOTE]
