Steroid-induced diabetes
Posted , 8 users are following.
I have been diagnosed as having Steroid-induced diabetes. Apart from other things like a massive hike in cholesterol levels for no reason. I have been steadily reducing my Prednisolone and in the past two weeks have been on 5mg every 15 hours. I am managing wirh not unreasonable pain but exhaustion and stomach cramps and awful breathlesness is really affecting me. I cannot even put a sock on without gasping for air. I have a regulat stabbing pain in my upper left abdomen. I have another appointment on Thursday morning... I have been told to lose a very latge amount of wieght, to excercise at least 1 hour a day walking or cycling and to cease eating any sugar starch or fat. I do not get an hour a day to spare to excercise. I am on the go from morning to night with my work and with caring for my disabled husband. Housework kills me and my washing machine is going at least 3 times a day with bedding and towels and trousers for my husband... Any suggestions ?

I wish I could help people. But just for a few hours. But with our PMR of course we can't be lifting people nor running vacuum cleaners. Heck I can barely keep up with my own house and I'm alone most of time.
Try to take care of yourself. If you not in good health too hard to care for others. Give your self some quiet time, demand it.
Feed your body the whole foods most of time, I know sometimes we just need a break from those. But yes be good to your body. Avoid sugars much as possible. I'm reading more and more how bad they are on body. No nutrition in sugar.
bless your heart. I hope the best for you.
