I had a diabetic crisis last week because I reacted to the steroids my rheumatologist gave me for arthritis and my body is not back to “normal” yet. I was depressed as hell at the grocery store last night trying to meal plan because my normal meals won’t work with my higher levels. I’ve been a gold star diabetic; no meds, low glucose levels and this just sucks. I already have trauma with food from childhood then disorder eating in high school. And then on top, low carb food is expensive as hell and sometimes nasty.

@imtheecrybaby that's terrible. Any steroid will affect blood sugars. Pills spike it more than other forms though, I think. I'm glad you were monitoring sugars so you caught it.
I know what steroids can do to your blood sugars. There are times I simply can't deal with the pain and inflammation without them. I'm sorry they completely messed with your usual meal planning. I'm like you, I have childhood food trauma along with texture issues. It is so hard to know what to do.
@dolphinblues mg doctor didn’t tell me at all that it would affect my diabetes
