[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1343224, member: 221545"] Hi. I wanted to just let you know that a low carb diet works pretty well for lots of people (particularly those who find that is is fairly easily sustainable), and that that includes people such as ourselves who had their diabetes induced by steroids. Further, that it can be controlled well enough even for those on steroid treatment for life (although a little spike a couple of hours after taking the steroid is likely if the dose is high enough). I was placed on a steroid as part of anti-rejection treatment post kidney transplant (which was required due to an inherited condition). The spike has pretty much gone due to a gradual reduction in the steroid dose. I was also told it would't be reduced too much but due to developing diabetes, there was a change of mind. Don't get me wrong, given the same choice and the same risks, I would still take the steroids and the diabetes to avoid dialysis. Sometimes we just need certain meds regardless. Anyway, good luck withe the diet and the control (ask you doctor over time about a slight reduction if that is possible...they may agree). All the best for 2017. [/QUOTE]
