Whenever I have been given any new tablets, meds, anti biotic and so on, I have to find out how they will effect me, I have intolerance to certain sugars, especially lactose, sucrose, and so on. So I must have meds that don't contain those ingredients. Or very limited to low percentage of whole.No drink, (only water to take medication) two tests, 0.3 difference, washed hands. This spike happens every day for me right now - as soon as I take steroid medication, within two hours I’m getting double digit readings.
By the evening, the readings are coming down so this evens out the day and overall I end somewhere near 9-11 which is still too high.
Already discussed with GP, and already been referred for specialist input - awaiting a date for this. GP felt unable to prescribe anything as apparently I’m a complex case (autoimmune disorder, multiple meds, stage 3B kidney disease, heart issues etc)
I did eat, 15.4 pre, and 2 hours post 15.6 so at least my meal was good.
Most meds contain such ingredients but there are alternatives, or I would be surprised that there isn't.
Pain meds are a pain! Sorry but they are! Only paracetamol in tablet form can I take.
Press your doctor or your specialist to find an alternative. Having mid teens high BG levels is not treatment.
