[QUOTE="Nuthead, post: 838828, member: 136215"] Interesting thread this one. I do not take steroids but have let's say Steroid enhanced diabetes. They had to give me such high doses of the stuff to keep me alive in A&E and subsequent treatment over a period of weeks pushed me into insulin. I was diagnosed with cancer and part of the chemotherapy included steroids. I have found lchf the way to go. I've started cycling a bit to loose weight and get fitter. When out peddling for the day I have to load up with carbs or reduce my insulin considerably. When I was taking steroids my bg went through the roof. I needed approximately 30 to 40% more insulin. It's quite a juggling act to get the correct balance. Unfortunately as we all react differently, I think it's going to be trial and error. You could find high bg caused by steroids offsetting the need for carbohydrates. However I think you need to test regularly when exercising to find out how it affects you. [/QUOTE]
