Woke up with No Pain..I usually have pain in the right side of my body from my shoulder to my knee. Quits after I get up an walk to the bathroom and take my Hot Shower.
When I got back to the bedroom, I took my Blood Sugar (BS) test. It was 296. I was SHOCKED
I have never had any test over 136, and most mornings it is under 120. I called Gabby and she said she would talk to my doctor about it. So I called my doctor's office and they told me it was probably due to the steroids they gave me. Gabby finally called me back and said the same. BOTH the Dr and Her said if it didn't go down after I took my medicine that I should come in and get insulin shot. I went down to 258 so I knew it was on the way down.
I ate my regular breakfast as I was hungry. I slept till noon. An hour after I ate, I took my BS and it was 396. My Dr had told me anything over 400 I should come in to the office. I just went and got a glass of water instead of my lemonaide and rested. Later I took it and it as down to 228. Still too high for me, but better than 396.
I ate leftover BBQ ribs from Monday night for supper..Nothng else. Worried, but not Too Worried.
Gabby said my cancer doctor will give me a lower amount of Steroids next treatment. I think it is the 21st. Not sure what time yet.
I was full of energy today. I can sure understand why people in sports take them. No pain all day except a headache first thing after getting up. But went away. Drank a lot of water most of the day.
Fed the squirrels around 1pm. They were a little peturbed, but Buddy came for his peanuts..so I guess I am forgiven.

Yes, steroids do mess with your blood sugar. I hope they get it figured out.

I hope it continues to go well. Hope the sugar levels settle down too.

Definitely keep an eye on the blood sugar but not having pain sounds amazing.
