this is a great site, hope it helps.

I am taking steriods that are raising my blood sugar and I need to modify my diet to regulate, but don’t know how. Is there a reliable web site to help me set up a guide?

Oh, gee, I feel for you!! I too am taking the nasty steroids and they were doing a number on my glucose levels. I simply cut down on the grams of carbs I am eating. So I am back to a very highly restricted 20 grams of carb.

I eat absolutely no grain products, no starchy veggies and no sweets at all.

I am on insulins and oral as well. So this is no picnic.

Meats and salads and maybe an apple a week.

think of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and green beans as very very low carb fruits and you can do this.

Read Dr Bernsteins chapters 9 and 10. This is the link to chapter 9 and you can go from there. I hope it helps you too.
