Had a shower a few months ago after work, did the blood test, entered the carbs and pressed bolus before food, an hour later went to the bathroom and the pump was still on the window sill lol
Hugs johnpolwell what can I say a truly horrific 17.2, yes you read it right, some one who will remain nameless (ME) forgot to turn his pump back on after their bath last night after doing a full set change!! So today will be mostly chasing the rainbow to reduce the numbers and corrective doses all day, and fight the tiredness that I'm already experiencing. oh well everyday is a learning day!
Take care everyone.
Hi vanillapie. I test my fbs just after getting out of bed and washing my hands to help ensure an accurate reading. I eat my breakfast just after testing then take my gliclazide.When do you guys tend to test your fasting sugars? When you wake up, or before the first time you eat? The reason I ask is that I don't eat for at least 6 hours after waking, and the difference between my fbg upon waking and then before I eat for the first time are extremely different.
6.1 today before my first meal.
Got my levels down to under ten now, just a few more adjustments to make. And having another senior moment I have left my Ketone meter at home, can't wait for the weekend!! at least I remembered my headOh no! Remember to check for ketones! Good luck for the rest of your day

Since I increased my prednisolone last week there has not been a day when I have not had a reading showing in the red on mySugr app and the predicted A1c is steadily going up now have had a letter from nuerologist suggesting that I increase preds yet again, not happy.

Yes it's nasty alright been taking them an unbelievable 17 years now a reluctant neurologist had allowed me to step them down to 10 mg a day but now having to go back up to 20 mg daily so going to take me a while to get things back under control if possible.Pred. is nasty evil very effective steroid. I'm on 10mg dose a day for life and I have been told that it makes controlling diabetes very difficult, which I have proved to be correct. Please be aware that there are many medics who do not understand how pred. affects controlling diabetes. Hopefully you should only be on pred. for a short time.

They are why I'm diabetic. My neurologist just says well diabetes not as important as your myasthenia gravis and you just have to accept it.
For now at least, trouble is my GP views me as T2 and does not get the difference on the other hand the diabetes consultant was quite huffy with me when I described my self as T2 he said no you are drug induced T3E I didn't really see the difference myself till recently thats why I have changed my profile to other now.I guess your days of low blood sugar readings like me are gone
