Re: Been stress dosing for a cold since Friday..

[Guest guest]

Well they say if it lasts over 3 days it si not a cold. Maybe you should

opt for antibiotics to go with the stress dosing. If I am sick for 3+

days thta is what I do, and lower the stress dose to 20MG extra a day

(divided) so you will slow the high cortisl symptoms down. You should

nto get these if you are dosing what your body needs to fight the

infection.

How would a non-fasting blood glucose of 97 (2 hrs. after a meal) fit

into whether or not I'm stress dosing too much? Today I stress dosed

60 mgs. of HC due to a cold.

Non fatsing and 2 hours after a meal that is a perfect readoing, and

shows normal cortisol ayt that time of day, and likely several hours

before.

Okay, since 97 blood glucose is a perfect reading for non-fasting, can

I assume that 60 mgs. stress dosing of hc for a cold is not too much hc?

[Guest guest]

I would still check your fasting before taking HC in the AM but it looks

liek it is not too high.

Okay Val, I will check my fasting glucose before taking HC in the AM.

But what could account for me needing such a large dose of HC (60 mgs)

during a cold (no fever)? And how accurate is a glucose test vs.

temps?

To fight infection takes MUCH cortisol. If your adrenals do not provide it then

oyu need to, some estimates say 200mg daily is used ot finght a fairly mild

infection! I think the temps are quite accurate and the glucose can be accurate

if you track it enough and for a long time. But what it will do is keep you out

of trouble with long term high cortisol. If say you needed to stay on 60mg for

three weeks, if your fasting glucose started to rise above YOUR normal levels it

would indicate time to lower the dose. If it started to drop it could indicate

your body is needing more cortiols than you are givng it. But it takes seeing a

pattern in your glucoise to really know what it is telling you. I check glucose

6-10 times a day and have for about a year now so I have aseen the patterns it

can produce. But even a week';s worht of daily readings can be useful.
