Hi ya, between steroids and stress I find that they cause levels to be all over the place. Learning to take this a day at a time as I have just had to increase my steroids so don't know what readings will be like.
Hang on in there.

I have RA as well... So ment to be on methotrexate .. But told em to stick up where sun don't shine
So they give u a steroid injection ....
But I was able to blag a second one on top of other that was still in system .... New doc... So gullible.... Plus to give me time to move in the new house with out walking sticks
But other day jumped to 29-29-28-32 etc
 
I woke up early today at 5:50 and did a quick test before settling backdown for a snooze, 4.1, alarm went off an hour later, 5.9, got up, usual morning routine, tested before breakfast at 7:20 and was 7.0
