Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / November 2005Hey! No DP today!
Today, for the first time since I've been testing (fbgs normally only once a week, for graph purposes) I had no DP today! Went to bed and woke up with a 4.7. Of course given meter variance, this may be a false positive today, or may have happened on earlier occasions and been hidden - but it's still nice to see : ) Nicky.

No dancing at 4.2 allowed : ) Nicky. SignatureA1c 10.5/5.6/<6 T2 DX 05/2004 1g Metformin, 100ug Thyroxine 95/73/72Kg I am jealous..

Went to bed and woke up > with a 4.7. Remember though, that DP can hit an hour or so AFTER youo've woken up and begun shuffling around. At least that's the case with moi. I can wake up with a BG of (say) 5 and within an hour it can have doubled. Strange as this desease is though, it doesn't even TRY to climb if I shoot just 2u's of Humalog "first thing". > Of course given meter variance, this may be a false positive today, or may > have happened on earlier occasions and been hidden - but it's still nice > to see : ) Indeed, but....... check again after you've been up a short while before getting giddy:-) SignatureBeav Reply to "beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com" (with the obvious changes) >> Today, for the first time since I've been testing (fbgs normally only >> once a week, for graph purposes) I had no DP today!

If I don't eat, it keeps on going (kept? : ) - but I need to take thyroid meds and then eat fairly quickly after that, so unless it's a vampire day it doesn't get a chance. 5.7 last night, 5.4 this morning : ) Nicky.

Ooops... how soon after taking thyroxine do you eat? I must have missed that on the instructions and I've taken the strips out of the box and thrown the box away. I get up and wolf down 6 pills and a potion. 2 of the pills are Thyroxine 25 msg and 50 msg. The Perindopril for the BP says "take half or one hour before eating" the potion says "take 20 mins to half an hour before eating". I then go off and shower and blow dry hair, dress, make up etc and then eat breakfast so it's actually probably 40 mins between taking the pills and eating! Is this a problem? It seems to be the only way I can remember to take all the blessed pills! If I start staggering the times I know I'll forget something!

No, I think that's fine - I haven't got the instructions in this current box either, but I'm sure it was "within an hour" for the thyroxine! Nicky.

Just had a look at my thyroxine box (100 mcg) instructions - "it is recommended that the tablets are taken before meals, once a day". Doesn't say anything about timing. I've been taking them for 6 years without any problem. SignatureYolande Type 2 >>> No, I think that's fine - I haven't got the instructions in this current >>> box [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > say anything about timing. I've been taking them for 6 years without any > problem. There was a report out several months ago - maybe longer - when they took a bunch of OAPs in a home and played games with their thyroid meds to see if it made any difference, poor old souls! The bottom line was that so long as you're consistent, it doesn't matter. Nicky.

Phew! Thanks Nicky! Patti Penzance, Cornwall On 16u Levemir @ 8pm and 10u Levemir @ 8 am Novorapid as required Perindopril, aspirin, Simvastatin, 300mg Quinine Sulphate & 75msg Thyroxin.
