[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 1902482, member: 222691"] Keep to low carb meals when you're high. A decent amount of good fat helps too. If you're just on long acting insulin, it is just that, it doesn't give you a 'quick boost'. Often they can last up to 24 hours, but most are about 18-22. You may also have a degree of Dawn Phenomenon, where the liver anticipates the body's need for sugar as you rise, so that also leads to raised morning glucose. The pyorrhea will have a very detrimental effect until its completely sorted out. Ask what treatment is expected as part of the chemo. If steroids are part of it, they will raise sugars as well. If you aren't already, ask to be referred urgently to your local hospital's Diabetes Specialist Nurses. You need more detailed advice to manage your sugars at the moment. [/QUOTE]
