I don’t do pasta, I use zoodles, palmini spaghetti or lasagna style or spaghetti squash. I do have a black bean pasta I’ve yet to try. I do pretty low carb so pasta is one of the things I gave up.
I've been on it 3 weeks. No appetite, nauseous. I'll will definitely speak to Dr about it. Thanks for the info
Morning family I feel tired everyday and my partner don't understand he wants sex all the time, my interest is very low
Thanks for your advice. From Elizabeth. ⭐⭐⭐

I have been on Prednisone for the last 2 months due to polymyalgia
rheumatica. It is a low dose, but I have gained 17 pounds and am not eating
more. Also, my sugar has skyrocketed, I know these are side effects from the
Prednisone. My PCP is going to put me on oral medication hopefully

Very useful information
Its the prednisone that's increasing your sugar most likely. Have you spoken with your Physician about adjusting your anti diabetes medication?. It sounds like it's so… read more
