Severe Asthma, phnumonia and Diabetes

0 Replies

Hi all,

just after some advice, I have been asthmatic for only 6 years, this has got severe since March this year and I ended up in ITU in May due to a severe attack and phnumonia. I have been admitted to hospital with my asthma 7 times since March and 4 visits that didnt require admissions, i am having tests and I am under a respiritory team as well to see why it has got so bad. has any one else had this problem?

I am also type 2 diabetic and I am now on Insulin as well as tablets due to the pred ive been on since March every time I reduce them below 10mg I have another episode... its so frustrating any advice would be gratefully recieved thank you!
