[QUOTE="finzi1966, post: 2485854, member: 548675"] Hi Zoe! There’s a very very good chance that it’s the steroids and the chest infection that are making your BG readings so high. An HbA1C of 62 would suggest that your average BG for the last 3 months has been more like 10. Now that is of course too high, and so improving your diet is a great step and once you’re over your infection, and stopped the steroids, hopefully your bloods will start showing a great improvement. If they don’t, then that’s the time to talk to your GP, I understand why he isn’t worried at the moment. [/QUOTE]
