Man that is so tough! High blood sugar feeding the bacteria and antibiotics trying to wipe them out. I hope your breathing is ok without the steroids and the antibiotics can get to work as your b/s comes down. Hang in there fingers crossed that as the steroids start to leave your system the blood sugars come down. Poor you. Wishing you well mate. You must be shattered!Not great, sat at a&e most of the day, blood tests confirmed still got an infection, b/s did come down to 21 but hospital wouldn’t do anything as didn’t want to give me any insulin as they thought b/ s would come toon too quickly & I’d ent up in the 2’s & be unconscious, suggested I wait until Monday & ring DSN (already left a message) 111 said not to be alone, to have my phone with me & call for help if I get breathing difficulties
Had steroids before & not affected b/s, this time 2 doses, quadruple medication & it went from 6 to 24.3, obvs not taking any more
Hope you & your family are all doing ok
I do hope that things are brought under control soon.

80 minutes!!Thank you
Been here before, if I get a bad cough steroids are the only thing that clear it, (that’s why I take zinc) can’t have them now obviously
Spent 80 minutes in the gym this morning
No, just enjoy it. Probably addicted to endorphins and maybe a bit mad.You ran twice?
Are you in training for something?
Hi there, just noticed that you asked for this.Can I have the recipe for the cheesecake please?
Thank youHi there, just noticed that you asked for this.
Serves 4 to 6 depending on how hungry you are.
Part 1 (Cheesecake)
100g feta
250g cream cheese (I use mascarpone)
40g icing sugar
100g double cream
Mix feta and mascarpone, blending to remove any large lumps.
Mix in the sugar then add the cream.
Part 2 (Fruit compote)
Use whatever fruit you like, I used cherries here but it works well with strawberries, raspberries and perhaps my favourite apple with cinnamon & caramel.
Cut fruit into 1cm pieces (or thereabouts).
Heat gently with a little sugar and maybe some liqueur (ginger wine is good with rhubarb for example, but here I used a splash of cherry brandy) or water
Reduce until slightly syrupy. Allow to cool.
Part 3 (Crumble)
50g ground almonds
50g chopped hazelnuts
20g butter
20g caster sugar
pinch of salt
10g black sesame (optional)
Mix almonds and butter until you have a fine crumb.
Add other ingredients then spread on a baking tray and heat at 140C for about 25 min or until crunchy.
Allow to cool.
You can use any other nuts you prefer or have to hand.
Assembly
Put a couple of spoons of cheese mix into a dish, Drizzle some fruit over than sprinkle over some crumble,
All can be made in advance and just assembled before serving so great for a dinner party,
Good luck, hope you enjoy it.
