[QUOTE="jallsop, post: 33732, member: 11740"] I find this thread really interesting. I developed Diabetes two years ago following high dose steroid use for a year prior. I was being treated for Ulcerative Colitis, an autoimmune disease. I now am insulin dependent. However, I then developed a skin condition called Pyoderma Gangrenosum which is basically an autoimmune response and is connected to active Ulcerative Colitis. Although I had my large bowel removed, I still have some pipework in place (due to be removed next year hopefully) which is still active UC. As the PG and UC are connected, perhaps my Diabetes is not totally the fault of steroid use - possible autoimmune response? Jackie [/QUOTE]
