So as you know, I am currently on Prednisolone for my polymyalgia rheumatica. Predictably, my blood sugars have skyrocketed because of the steroids.
As I was reading my FB, a reel came up about bringing blood sugar down by eating onions. So I prepared this drink and it was too vile for me to take.
As I had boiled a lot of onions, I added some seasonings and drained them and ate them
Fastforward to evening when I take my sugars and inject my insulin, I firstly noticed that my finger sprayed blood in a fine spotted spray. I thought how thin my blood must be.
Secondly, when I took my sugars, to my surprise they were in single figures after double all day...
So I have made a decision to eat more onions to reduce my sugar readings and keep my blood thin...
I will be using insulin of course, but if my sugars spike especially after taking Prednisolone, I will be asking Chris to pass the onions...
