13/7 - Morning.

9.6 at 8.30am :banghead:.

Ate out last night with friends and had a 3 course meal.
Where's mine?
I've missed my chance now on tier3. No more big meals, for ever. :) :) :) i'll have to have cordon bleu from now on :) without sweet. :) :) :) Great excuse for better restaurants? I've always had expensive taste. I wonder how much they affect my bgs? I must find out. Do you want to tag along once i'm working again?
I love posh dinning! Used to work for turner's fine foods. Great posh produce for little portions.
I do miss the good hotel lifestyle. I must become a diabetic/low carb food critic. What a job? Ha ha
Poor chef would have to put the syrup and caster sugar away!

Morning All

7.9 for me today, definitely going the wrong way. Bit of a lie in this morning as todays appointment is not until this afternoon - first with a dietician, then a quick blast on the radiotherapy machine just in time to catch the Leeds rush hour on the way home.

I'm hoping the dietician will be happy enough with my weight progress that I can return to being more strict about my FBG, but we'll see.
Hope you have good dn support Tim. Thinking of you. :)

My doctor took me off my preventer as he thought I had too much steroids in my system already I really miss it.
Asthma nurse said so low amount of steriod aimed at lungs so has little effect on bgs. Is that true?

I hope you get it back John

Of the three different inhalers I use for emphysema, Symbicort 400 has Budesonide in it. I use the all three inhalers after breakfast, but I have not noticed a increase in bgls

The other two inhalers Airomir and Spiriva Respimat I use, do not have steroids in them as far as quick Google search shows.

I've only noticed higher bgs from pain but suppressing with tramadol and insulin. Had to increase toujeo300 insulin to help. I thank god I'm on it otherwise my toes would be totally numb.

It does help. Without inhalers this week I would have been seeing gp about my euthanasia options. I couldnt continue living like that. The fear is the worst part of it! Much happier now thou :) :) :)
