What Causes Fluctuating Blood Sugar Levels?
I ve been diabetic for 28 years and am experiencing stark changes, in blood sugar control. I ve been taken off the pump and put back on shots (6 a day + victoza+tresiba 58units) I changed my diet to less carbs and more protein and it seemed to be working until I was put back on statins, this time Pravastatin 20mg. Back to muscle cramping and weakness and now diareha for 2 days and sugar levels over 200 fasting, this am it was 233 before I had anything to east. Can you make suggestions of what to do. I have chf and afib and colostomy and hbp: meds are already given to me to help these. What can I change in my food to help go off the statins?
