Hi all.

Another round of blood tests. Just dropped to 6mg prednisolone.

Taken one year on and off upping and downing doses.

HBAC1 5.1

Cholesterol 3.8

Esr 2

Now as you all should know prednisolone can mess with diabetic readings and cholesterol.

Remind you all stick to good appropriate diets to keep your readings down.

Iam thrilled at mine.

I eat a little often THE RIGHT STUFF.

Stay safe xxxxx

Hi, I'm not really your average G.C.A. patient as I have Life-time Klinefelters as well and my Prednisolone meds. have been been up and down. I got to 6 in October 2019 and upping and downing between 6.5 and 7.0 in January 2020 getting down to 6.0 again in April 2020. All blood tests got stopped at my local Surgery because of the pressure on the local Laboratory so I've no idea what my C.R.P. level is at the moment. Likewise Vitamin D and Calcium required before the 6th Denosumab at the end of April 2020. I started my journey in January 2014 so I've been on Prednisolone 6 years and 4 months.

Best wishes
