Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hi everyone,I have had a terrible time trying to get my sugar under control! I was on Predisone for 7 years and off for about 3! I developed Type2 Diabetes this year! I was only on the pills and diet for about 4 months and at first it was great.Now I have been put on the shots of insulin plus 1,000 mg. twice a day of Metforman sp? This was started 3 weeks ago and that too helped at first! Now we can't control it again and today I was put on 15 mg. of insulin.Now I think one or more of my other meds,( which are at least 30 pills a day) are not getting the message right away, so they work for a little while,then they catch on and start working against the insulin! What am I supposed to do about that? I have a call into my Rheumy to see if he can figure it out. Sorry I couldn't be more help. love Elly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Elly, I have the same problem with my blood sugars especially with the prednisone causing my blood sugar to go up. I am taking Januvia 100mg a day and I am running low 100's. They were going to start me on insulin if this did not work I have been on many different ones and they would work for a while or the side effects would cause me to have to stop . I was in the high 200's-mid 300's before Januvia I am very happy. Have you ever been to an endocrinologist? They are a specialty and maybe have a little more experience with hard to control blood sugars? Best of luck.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Elly I know you see a lot of doctors already like most of us but I hope that your seeing a specialist for your Diabetes . I know my dad had a doctor that was about all he handled and if he could not then dad saw a endocrinologist. They were always his first line for his Diabetes and then the others for the other things like his cancer and stuff later. I know when I became a Diabetic from the steroids back in Idaho if it would have lasted any longer then it did I was going to start to see a diabetes doctor besides my RA , GP and Hemo docs back then. just a thought but I also know that yes our meds can play tricks on up big time. I do not fight it now but boy did I at first only I did not know it back then tell after all the problems came and went and I could finally look back with 20 / 20 hind sight . funny how its always so much clearer that way LOL any hoot my best to ya hugs The Redneck Marty G.
