[QUOTE="xfieldok, post: 2069186, member: 460785"] Update: spoke with neurologist yesterday. Woe is me! I thought I was on my max dose of steroids. Sadly not. Currently taking 8 of the little devils, I have to work my way up to 12. Only then can I expect to see an improvement. The purpose of being an inpatient is to keep an eye on you whilst they get them into you at a faster rate. So, given that I should be on the max dose within a couple of weeks anyway, set against the inconvenience of being away from home and puppies, I decided that I wouldn't go in. Good job I found out about the extra steroids before I see the specialist nurse on Monday. I don't qualify at the moment but there is a chance I may get the freestyle libre on prescription at some point and DN is trying to source me a ketone meter. I have a caresens but the surgery doesn't use the strips. It may look, on the face of it, nothing much has changed. I feel so much better though. Had a really good sleep last night. It did involve jelly babies and a couple of biccys but I am kinda getting the hang of things. [/QUOTE]
