[QUOTE="Blackwater5, post: 2483304, member: 552414"] Steroids make it hard or impossible to control glucose and being given a gliptin that caused ne to need steroids is annoying. I can't take statins, I'm allergic, but have been on a very low dose beta blocker for a couple of years. I had lots of yoghurt plus berries for lunch, think my carbs today weren't over 130 and maybe a little less. My cereal gave me a reading of 19.4, but with no cereal and much lower carbs it's dropped to 10.8 after a cheese and salad snack this evening. I don't know how much you can control blood glucose (and other things) while on steroids which are known to cause T2 and relying on diet and exercise. I've hardly been able to walk for the last couple of months because of pain from blisters on my feet, but they are clearing up now and I've been walking yesterday and today. Tomorrow I can have all low carb meals. The meter has been a blessing even though I wasted several lancets and strips learning to use it. If I'd had one before, plkus good diet advice I'd have known that although my hb1Ac has been low (57 with topical steroids)but getting hyper symptoms. I haven't burnt a boiled egg since I was 5 years old, but I've never enjoyed cooking and only attempt the simplest. An easy Greek stew would be handy but it relies on a lot of pasta cooked with the meat. Sear meat in olive oil, remove meat, add tomato puree, water .plus herbs. Simmer in pan for an hour or so, then add pasta and more water. Greeks eat a lot of carbs, bread, chips, pasta, rice, but they also soak everything in olive oil. I'd make a big Greek salad, cucumber, tomato, pepper, onion, olives, feta cheese, swimming in olive oil, but I don't know if I can buy genuine Greek feta her, it's very expensive and sold pre-packaged with a few little cubes of cheese. It5 will take time to build up the stock of staples I need but I think I have enough for a week even though it will be too much of the same things. The granola recipe looks good.. [/QUOTE]
