[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 2719, member: 1338"] Hi Marshy and a warm welcome to you. Unfortunately diabetes is one of the side effects of long term use of prednisolone. More details in the link below to the arthritis research campaign website. [url=http://www.arc.org.uk/arthinfo/patpubs/6251/6251.asp]http://www.arc.org.uk/arthinfo/patpubs/6251/6251.asp[/url] I know its not what you wanted to hear, but it looks like your GP could be right. Presumably he has run tests on your blood sugar levels to have reached his conclusion. Once you move onto medication you will have to be more careful with your eating regime. Going 12 hours without food is something you might be able to get away with now, but would be dangerous once on diabetes medication. If you really feel that you don't trust your GP's diagnosis then ask him to refer you to a diabetes consultant for a second opinion. [/QUOTE]
