Bottom line: Assuming that Wednesday's measurements were "normal," then Sunday's were at least 10 points higher than normal and Saturday's were more than 50 points higher! This is "low-dose" dex - it's no wonder that high-dose dex gives people the symptoms of diabetes and sometimes even gives them the real thing.
Here is a TABLE showing actual measurements and times. It also has links to photos of the meals that were eaten.
Below is a chart of the same thing. Click to enlarge.
Hi Don,
ReplyDeletevery interesting! But how many little holes do you have in your fingers by now? I'm afraid I would be too scared to do that (I faint as soon as I smell blood).
Have a wonderful day :-)

Hi Don,
ReplyDeleteI had the same trouble (but was on high dose dex). I found that frequent brisk walks throughout the day helped lower my blood sugar. Had it been consistently over 200, I would have had to take medication for it.
During my time on dex, I saw an endocrinologist, who kept tabs on my blood sugar and other stuff.
I'm SO glad to be off dex!
