Well the good news is my BS were 11.9 this morning which for me is amazing!.
I'm currently taking steroids for my asthma unfortunately however I'm told this is likely to increase my BS.
My low carb high fat diet starts today.....
Welcome, sorry to hear that you have yet another challenge. I'm not asthmatic myself, my wife is, so I can appreciate what a b.gg.r that is to deal with. As you say the steroids will affect the numbers and not in a good way.
I don't know what your relationship with food is, I had followed a strict regime before low carbing so it was easy, not everyone will find it as easy. If I was to be asked for advice I could only say, don't beat yourself up, just get straight back on the wagon. Personally I cut bread/rice/pasta/potato and except for Saturday's treat (eggs, which must have toast) and Sunday's (bacon, must have more toast), and rice every now and again, I don't have too many problems keeping below 100gms of carb a day. I weigh everything and have some software to break everything down, so I can be fairly accurate on the amounts of carb. So, in my case I ditched Gliclazide, Januvia and the dreaded stating purely because my numbers were low.
I didn't replace the missing carbs with extra fats, the decrease in calories was useful for losing some weight, but don't forget, everybody has a different approach. There is no single right way, it's going to be very personal to you.
I see you have a monitor which is good, using it will help you identify which carbs might be OK, even the body's response to carbs differs from person to person. Use the meter and test, test, test, much better than waiting for an HbA1c which is only an average and misses the peeks and troughs which do the damage.
