[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2331199, member: 401801"] So basically, what you're saying, you were always prone to some amount of insulin resistance. (Gaining weight fast). The steroids made a bad situation worse, but I do take away from that that there was already some inclination there to develop T2, so it's likely not [I]entirely[/I] steroid-induced. Just a guess though. Anyway, cut the carbs, because you're still eating a lot of them, and just go for the proteins and fats... You should lose weight and gain control of your blood sugars without having to resort to more steroid use, which would make a bad situation worse and you'd probably end up on insulin. There's people on here who need steroids to keep inflammatory chronic conditions and pain at bay, but if you don't require it for that sort of thing, best leave it alone entirely, and see what can be salvaged through diet.
