I have serve asthma what are you taking for your COPD. Steroids both inhealed or tablets can rise blood sugar.
I take steroids now and again for Asbestos plaques and inflamed lungs, along with antibiotics. Only take them for 7 days and then have 6 weeks break,

I was talking to a medico the other day, about the numbers of medications that some folk have to take, to keep well, and he made the remark that it is not unusual to be prescribed one medication for each decade.!!
The danger of side effects and dosage muddles must be high. One of my aged relatives used regularly to spill all his pills out of a Websterpack, or similar,and we would find him putting all the like colours together, in the compartments, e.g., four blue for Tuesday, three pink for Wednesday etc. It was really scary.

Absolutely. It is a major concern for the geriatric population. we have tried to reduce as many meds as possible because of his fragile kidneys. slight advantage is that my sister is a doctor who also has a PhD in Pharmacology so is very particular about his medications/side effects/interactions.

A nice low 4.5 today. I did have a particularly tiring game of 5 a side last night which probably helped :)
