Flu on steroids now and rising Bs

[maxjoe121]

I've been poorly since last friday with a shocking bout of flu and its affected my asthma very badly so I'm on steroids for 5 days aswell as antibiotics . My Blood sugars have risen to 25, I phoned the doctor and she had me straight down to check for keytones which there wasn't any but I'm very anxious now that what to look out for . I only have another 2 days on these steroids. What are the signs to look out for as its frightened me aswell as not being able to breathe with this horrid virus, my numbers are usually 9 to 10 normally

I have had similar with asthma when I have a virus, @maxjoe121 .
I stay upright to sleep, either propped up in bed or a recliner chair.
If you are struggling call NHS111, to ask for advice.
Are the steroids a 5 day course? I usually feel better able to breathe after day 4. Usually need antibiotics too.
