why am I so tired
I was diagnosed with GCA in November. I have been reducing Prednisone every 2 weeks. I started on 40mg and I am now on 12.5mg. I have steroid induced diabetis and my readings have been very erratic. They seem to be settling down a bit. I am taking 160mg and 80mg of Gliclazide, I have also been prescribed

Polyunsaturated fats v saturated fats
I am so confused! I read on another site polyunsaturated fats are bad for people with hypothyroidism and saturated fats are recommended. I tend to follow the Mediterranean way of eating more for heart health and keep slim. This includes oily fish , avocados and nuts which are PUFAs. My GP wanted me

Small bowel intestinal overgrowth
I have been diagnosed by my gastroenterologist with sibo after a breath test. The treatment prescribed is xifaxan. I’m waiting for approval by insurance. I’m also in treatment for CLL with Zanubrutinib which I began in May last year. I have had stomach issues, sometimes really severe, since beginning

Utterly confused.......
My BMI is 40, I have been doing the NHS Weight Management Second Nature programme and found it easy to follow, and the recipes delicious, and although I have only lost a few lbs, I didn't feel the need to snack or binge on anything. I learnt this morning that I have Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol

Low carb diets
On top of everything else I'm now pre-diabetic. I wasn't prior to starting the steroids but as I'm now on 2 mg of Prednisolone a day and have been on 5 mg or less for over a year I suspect that Prednisolone is not the culprit. I've been looking at a diabetic website and it says that low carb is less

Advice on where to get blood tests done privately
Hi all, I hope you can help with my query. I've always had issues with T4 but after a good few years of a boost on dessicated thyroid (Erfa) the weight is piling on again. My private doctor has recommended I get the following tested but I'm struggling to find a company that can test my fasting glucose

My blood sugar is 254mg/dl after 1 hour of lunch
I had a lunch at 1 pm. It included one bowl (100gm) of white rice, sambar, a small cup of potato fry, another cup of vegetables, and 200ml of buttermilk. I took metformin 500mg before lunch and went for a 2km walk inside my office. Took a random blood sugar at 2:30 pm and was shocked to see the reading

GCA and type 2 diabetes
Hi all Warriors Since being on prednisone (since July 2023 at 60mg, now at l6mg) my A1C has slowly crept up. Had blood work yesterday and A1C is now at 7.1. I have been told by my rheumy this is steroid induced and will start going down as I taper. Even though I have been tapering by 1mg every 2

2024 is the year to change
I’ve been overweight for most of my life. I was bullied because of it at school and have always felt out of place and self conscious. I have type two diabetes and hope that losing weight will help me. I want to lose 33 pounds. My aim is to achieve this by the end of June.

diabetes doctors
Even though disappointing for those with thyroid issues, I had hoped, and actually was under the impression, that at least endos were good diabetes doctors. It seems that I have to rethink that as well. I have a colleague with Type 1 Diabetes who had some horror stories to tell. And he is the second
