Hi their my name is Debbie I have been diagnosed with type 2 in March this year the problem I have is I am also bad asthmatic and take regular steroids which make my blood sugar levels go up dose anyone have any advice on this please.
 
I have been on several courses of steroids which have increased my blood sugar levels. I managed by drastically cutting back on beige foods, no bread/pasta/rice/potatoes etc. Although I swapped white pasta for lentil pasta. I also went for at least a 10-15 minute brisk walk after meals, that would usually reduce my BG down into the normal range. I checked my BG pre and post walk, to see if it was effective.
