[QUOTE="lilibet, post: 116244, member: 11459"] Anything Ive read doesnt seem to suggest probs in respect of dynamics between cortisone and insulin per se (as you can inject both in sites very distinct from each other) and lots of diabetics get it The problem is that Cortisol is a steroid (naturally occuring, implicated amongst other things with Dawn Phenomenon) and all steroids do tend to play havoc with blood sugar. Its Cortisol that also makes insulin requirements go up when you are unwell as it increases insulin resistance. However, if you are getting injections, get on to an appropriate medic who can help you manage both. Being in that amount of pain will not be doing you any good, and hopefully the problems would be transient (as the injections dont last forever!) [/QUOTE]
