[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2309759, member: 345386"] Hi Kathleen - I don't have steroid induce diabetes, although my late father did, some years ago. Your diagnostic test for diabetes shows you're only a short way over the line (48 is the diagnostic "line"), so there are likely some tweaks you could make to help things along. Whilst your GP suggested giving up the sweet stuff, they're not the only thins with the potential to push our blood glucose up. In reality, most carbohydrates will have a blood glucose impact, so that includes, anything with flour (bread and crispbreads, as well as cakes), potatoes, rice, pasta for example. Paring back on those foods makes all manner of sense, but it makes sense, in my view, for you to do some home finger prick testing, to learn where your biggest culprits are in terms of blood glucose rocket fuels. For personal experience of steroid induce diabetes, I'll tag [USER=223921]@JohnEGreen[/USER] , and [USER=362123]@Tophat1900[/USER] who both live the condition. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
