[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 2160888, member: 85347"] I've heard of this before - Diabetes (Particularly with a Type 2 on Steroids) as this combination definetely dosen't go well together as the steroids will interfere with the natural body's controls in dealing with the blood/glucose, hence raising the blood sugar levels. By all means cut back on the Carbs and compensate by eating more of the HEALTHY fats as in the LCHF approach to controlling blood/glucose levels, but don't expect a miricle outcome or instant benifit from doing this. It might be better to ask your DN or Dr to consider increading your steroid dosage (usually it's doubled up) and to then only take the steroids on alternative days. This will allow your body to better attempt to clear the rqised blood/glucose level on the days when the steroids are not taken. Please don't change your medication dosage or routeens without seeking permission from your Dr. or DN as these are the people who will know your medical needs better than any of us 'Amateur's' would know here on the diabetic forum. Best of Luck - Please let us know what happens. [/QUOTE]
