[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1428451, member: 88961"] Pleinster, I've always been incredibly impressed by your pragmatic approach to your collateral damage. You have never appeared to seem bitter about it, rather just seeing it as something that has to be dealt with. My father became T2 as a result of long-term prednisolone medication, plus a few others I never hope I have to take. At the time, the pred was part of the alchemy keeping him alive, so he just went with the flow. He was the first person I ever saw do a finger prick blood test, although back then in the late 80's it was very different to these days! Bearing in mind the immediate correlation between your prednisolone and the much increased numbers, would you consider speaking to your team about some short-term diabetes meds to bring those numbers down, for the course of the steroids? If you're going up to 14 it can't be helping you feel well, and be dispiriting. Maybe keep some pretty detailed data over this course - your bloods and food intake sort of thing, and discuss them with your team next you see them? I'm passionately keen to remain meds-free, or where meds need to come into the picture, keeping them to a minimum, so please don't think I'm being gung-ho is suggesting you just add another med to the mix. If you were just able to keep the peaks down a bit it might help you. Just my 2p worth of brain dump. :) [/QUOTE]
