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
