So this creeping crud of a sinus, ears, throat, chest, infection I got required a third trip to the med-center, 3rd antibiotic. Doc said this particular bug is hard to kill and he has seen quite a few pat. including himself requiring 3 different antibiotics.
Now for the conundrum, He also gave me a dex steroid shot and rx for pred. 40mg a day, 5 days. BG immediatley shot up to 140_150, and I am showing large amount of ketones in urine, bloated like I am about to explode. Could have been the 2 big bowls of beef stew, man this stuff makes me hungry.
So how can I be showing large ketones and have elevated Bg level. Hadn't seen 150 in a very long time.
