Default Update

I tested my blood glucose several times in the last 24 hours:
  • 2:00 p.m. 149 -- after a ten-hour fast.
  • 8:22 p.m. 100 -- before eating (I was out of strips, so no reading after breakfast).
  • 9:40 p.m. 103 -- 1.4 hours after eating.
  • 11:00 p.m. 129 -- 1 hours after eating.
  • 3:35 a.m. 104 -- after work at home -- no food for 2 or 3 hours.
  • 5:00 a.m. 111 -- after night time meds, including Prednisone. I did eat during this period.
  • 3:00 p.m. 147 -- had 18 oz of a smooth in three portions at 7:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., and 11:30 a.m. -- 3 hour fast.
I take the a 35 mg dose of Prednisone with my nighttime medications, an hour before going to bed. I wonder if it is the Prednisone that increases my blood glucose? I could test this by switching the Prednisone to my daytime medications.
