You’ve said that your cortisol is high. High cortiol will always raise blood sugars. how high? Please get your cortiols rechecked. It should be done before 0930 in the morning. Miss out steriod (lung skin nose) on the morning of the test then take after the bloods been taken. If it is high...

Given your young woth no risk factors for T2DM I would be asking your GP about LAte Onset (insulin dependent/T1) diabetes. These tests can’t usually be done on the community so they would need to ref you to the diabetes team. and I’d be asking:looking at your liver function. Hope you’re ok.

Re posting this on the T2 forum. I’m new to all of these in my 3rd month. Diagnosed with Addison’s and started on physiology replacement dose hydrocortisone worked out at 0.3mg/kg. (BMI 21. Early morning cortisol 39. Pre diagnosis BM 2-4. HBa1C 34.) Since starting the hydrocortisone I’ve felt...

It’s a hard place! You’re right that the HC is on the lower dose but I am not large. So on mg/kg is should be 16mg/day and I’m on 15-17.5mg/day as advised to do. The dose of HC is replacement only and I’ve never had high sugars before. The high of the sugars is related to the cumulative dose of...
