Where's mine?
I've missed my chance now on tier3. No more big meals, for ever. i'll have to have cordon bleu from now on without sweet. Great excuse for better restaurants? I've always had expensive taste. I wonder how much they affect my bgs? I must find out. Do you want to tag along once i'm working again?
I love posh dinning! Used to work for turner's fine foods. Great posh produce for little portions.
I do miss the good hotel lifestyle. I must become a diabetic/low carb food critic. What a job? Ha ha
Poor chef would have to put the syrup and caster sugar away!
 
Hope you have good dn support Tim. Thinking of you.

Asthma nurse said so low amount of steriod aimed at lungs so has little effect on bgs. Is that true?

Of the three different inhalers I use for emphysema, Symbicort 400 has Budesonide in it. I use the all three inhalers after breakfast, but I have not noticed a increase in bgls

The other two inhalers Airomir and Spiriva Respimat I use, do not have steroids in them as far as quick Google search shows.
 
I've only noticed higher bgs from pain but suppressing with tramadol and insulin. Had to increase toujeo300 insulin to help. I thank god I'm on it otherwise my toes would be totally numb.

It does help. Without inhalers this week I would have been seeing gp about my euthanasia options. I couldnt continue living like that. The fear is the worst part of it! Much happier now thou

13.1 this morning. On my way to pick up a metre from the DN this morning. Think I probably need to do something about it.

Hi. Yup. I'd recommend testing on waking, and before and 2.5 hours after food, noting down the readings and the food...that will inform you a great deal.
