[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2266923, member: 401801"] Hi [USER=466107]@whyme_again[/USER] , If you're a T2, and on steroids, you will see your blood sugars go up. Two ways to tackle this, if you cannot do without the steroids (and I realise being able to breathe can come in useful): Stick with a very, very low carb diet of about 20 grams of carbs a day, and accept a 9.something here and there, [I]or[/I] request to be put on insulin temporarily. Either way, you don't want to do this without medical help. I go for the low carb myself, as sandwiches used to do to me what they're now doing to you (seeing 20's), but if I get a steroid shot now I don't go higher than a nine. Same with a flu jab. Which I can live with for a few days, you know? [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] might help. And step away from the sandwiches for the time being. And if you are ever in doubt, call 111. Don't take risks, don't second-guess yourself into oblivion about whether or not to call. Feel off, scared, weird? Call them. And keep checking your levels. Hope you feel better soon. Jo [/QUOTE]
