Can't be bad overall to adjust the diet and be a bit more healthy! I have only had to take insulin once since last Thursday and I think things are settling. The pred starts to taper off 5mg/day as of tomorrow, so I'll be back to normal by next week. Hopefully then things will settle properly...Will Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508088975549500412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661949848684665225.post-42284147125805994282010-07-27T11:13:58.243+01:002010-07-27T11:13:58.243+01:00I got sent home with a monitor and 10 strips last ...I got sent home with a monitor and 10 strips last year, but my sugars normalized after I stopped drinking a 6-pack plus of Mt. Dew or whatever other soft drink was available. It was a very hard adjustment, but it has been worth not going on oral or IM diabetes meds. I now only do the tests when I feel like I'm crashing to make sure my crashing number is actually low - because my grandpa crashes around 100, while I crash in the 40s.<br /><br />I hope your blood cough ends up being nothing and your rejection goes completely away.

I spent the week synthesising queen bee pheromone. Yes, really! I was reading your updates throughout the week but without the latest (or any) iPhone I was unable to post any comments!<br />Let's hope you can last a long time without diabetes; all the sugar in the blackcurrant goo can't have helped :o)<br />Keep well and keep training for the ping pong.<br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661949848684665225.post-43817939647004393062010-07-23T22:32:00.910+01:002010-07-23T22:32:00.910+01:00Just thought I would let you know I am on just Pro...Just thought I would let you know I am on just Prograf (tacrolimus) and along with my prednisone, I have yet to be 'diagnosed' diabetic. I monitor my sugar levels of course, but so far they are looking okay and no insulin YET. So even if they switch or add Prograf, you might still be okay!! I just watch my sugar intake. Switched to Diet soda, lowered my candy intake, and I work out regularly all those things can help! Good Luck!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16443223033562968398noreply@blogger.com
