hi

can someone please give me some pointers as the type of thing you can eat safely that doesn't set your sugars off but is also healthy that will help you lose weight. I have been eating bran flakes for breakfast and the past few days my sugars have been in double figures. Also how much carbs can you have all I have been told is not to double carb
 
Personally I can't have any breakfast cereals, even poridge spikes me, I go for cooked (eggs, bacon mushrooms) or Greek yoghurt with milled linseed and a bit of fruit (usually berries)
 
I don't know why but porridge makes me go low dn said maybe im not eating enough now seeing as I have introduced zumba so trying to add more food but just cant get the levels right I have a cold and suspected chest infection which is effecting my asthma so im taking more and more of my inhalers and cold tablets. seeing dn tomorrow so will ask her if these would send my sugars off
 
If your asthma inhalers are steroids, this won't be helping as some steroids can increase BS levels. Have a google to see if your inhalers have this as a possible side effect.
 
one is and that doesn't effect my sugars as I take it every day twice a day and the other is ventolin which I have taken 6 puffs of that today already and that's a non steroid
 
What about Lesions on kidneys i have that and sometimes my urine is strong and stings when i pass it.Not all the time just sometimes.I gotta go in hospital when they call for me to have more investigative treatment under general anaesthetic.Bit of a worry is that and thinking it may affect my bs levels a bit.
