[QUOTE="Petrolhead276, post: 1584097, member: 229935"] Yes at least one of her asthma meds' is steroid based. Unfortunately I am unable to say what a typical days diet is as: 1) she doesn't note it, even though I have suggested it would be beneficial so that the BG values I extract from her machine periodically can be overlayed to the dietary intake. 2) she is more concerned about others than herself, e.g. our son. Despite me saying on occasion that not looking after herself could result in those people she cares about not having her around anymore. Whilst I know that is a bit shock tactics for some, I have known my wife for 45+ years and unfortunately sometimes this is the only way through her defence mechanisms. Someone else mentioned talking therapies, my wife finds anything like this intrusive to her privacy, so I doubt she would entertain it, although personally it's what she needs, e.g. a local buddy of similar age and having beaten the condition or is also struggling with it so they can whinge together. We both have a "sweet tooth" with chocolate being high on our hit list along with the sweeter wines (German kabinett, spätlese & Auslese plus French sauternes); but these are not a daily or even weekly occurrence, more once or twice a month or when on holiday.
