[QUOTE="Mommayorkie, post: 1667934, member: 37348"] the foods i listed were what ive been eating over yesterday and day before. not since last february. steroids make you hungrier as it is. i think i said that for some reason yesterday i started feeling queasy about an hour before my next meal would be normally be due. took my bs and it was much lower than normal i felt terrible but ate a meal and felt ok again. i dont usually get that happen. i usually only eat 2 slices bread per day. and its not normal bread either its low carb bread.lowest i can find that has seeds in it. i cant eat salad. and to be honest i have never been able to eat a lot of protein. in one meal. i dont eat potatoes except on very rare occasions.i fill up on veg and my doctors are happy with my Hb1Ac and my daily fasting /bedtime BS. its only these darned steroids i have problems with/. as i said before i made myself ill 2 years ago trying to low carb no way could i eat so few carbs as you do. mavbe thats why your cold and cough is so bad. your immune system has been shot , not getting enough of the vitamins etc you need to have a good immune system.? just a thought. whereas mine feels so much better and the cough almost gone...time will tell when the course of steroids and antibiotics are finished. it has been known for me to need a 2nd even a 3rd course of both if its not knocked the bug on its head. but if caught early. itll be well on its way to their heaven or hell by now. its swings and roundabouts. when you have asthma and COPD as well as diabetes. unfortunately you have to treat as for the first two rather than the latter. but it is very worrying when your bs goes way up to 17/18 and nothing you do will bring it down. i cant exercise much because of the asthma/COPD and the spondylosis. i can walk a bit on the flat but i live on a hill. can get down it but not up it. and unlike the taxi drivers i mentioned in another thread who continually work with streaming colds n coughs not caring if their passengers are elderly. or have any one of a list of conditions where getting those bugs could at best make them very ill or at worst kill them. hospitals are dul;l to bursting as are ambulances in long queues outside A&Es around the country. people on stretchers in corridors not getting attended to cos of lack of staff. yet people who couldnt care less put the vulnerable at risk. like that.i wont go out when ive got a cold. dont believe in spreading it around.
