I am sure this must have been discussed before. Diagnosed with PMR/GCA June this year, currently just dropped to 20mg (but feeling it in my shoulders and scalp ...) still struggling with the usual ups and downs and pred side effects. Now looks like I have diabetes, full bloods done yesterday but all symptoms including sugar in urine. So my question is, before I get my appointment at the diabetic clinic (assuming it is confirmed), what do I eat? I have laid of the carbs because of weight gain but this is an ongoing issue, I have put on about 8lbs. I eat lots of fruit and Veg, but lots of the Veg upset my IBS (which is also worse on the preds). So if I cut back the fruit, can have limited Veg, don't want to overdo the Carbs.... leaves me with meat/eggs and dairy I guess (I don't eat fish).
Any suggestions or information would be appreciated ........
