Hi Becky .whilst at hospital for stomach pains they tested by glucose level and it was 3.6, was put on a drip and wasn't allowed to leave until it was 4. What does this mean? Am I now over medicated
Becky hope it went/goes ok let us know what happened .Not sure as don't test at home - had a phone call from Docs this morning been called in, so not sure what that means.... very anxious now
Good luck.Not sure as don't test at home - had a phone call from Docs this morning been called in, so not sure what that means.... very anxious now
Oh no, hope you get back up soon.So I am on too much medication so now got to stop taking tablets and stick with one injection a week. I have to test every two hours until I get a reading on 5 or above for a whole day. If it gets below 5, I'm currently at 4.2 try a glass of milk and test again 15mins later if still doesn't come up I've got to go straight back. The doctor admitted it was the surgerys fault as I was slightly low before they added the injections.
I take it you are having trouble getting blood when you are pricking, have you tried changing the depth setting on your lancing device yet, other tips, wash your hands in the hottest water you can take, dry thoroughly massage on the way to test prick and shake, go easy on the squeezing as it will cause bruising xNo I didn't realise it was low it wasn't until they said I need to go on a drip that I knew about it. Been given a meter today, although I must have finger tips that don't seem bleed She was very apologetic but this isn't an exact science what works for some over does it for others
Right ok let's start here, what did you have for breakfast and what was your bs sitting at before you had your breakfast xSo my blood sugar has now shot up to 8.7 2 hours after breakfast is that good or too high... I wish I knew what I was looking for
