hi i have just found this site. i have had diabetes since 2005 i developed it through long term steroid use for my rheumatoid arthritits...also got diabetes on both sides of the family.i was just taking tablets for it until i was rushed to hospital with acute kidney failure in 2007 the docs then put me on insulin.will be good to chat to others about diabetes. x
 
Welcome to the forum :) Im a type 1 diabetic and im 18. Ive had diabeties for 4 years now. My grandad has type 2 diabeties and my mum is on the verge of having type 2 diabeties, yet I have type 1. How weird :roll:

PM if you want a chat or advice :)

Hello again KP :D

(I nearly shortened that to Kinkie but p'raps KP is better! :lol: )

Steroids help with so many things but there is certainly a cost. You say that you have problems exercising due to the RA so was wondering what you manage to do? Do you use a pool? It is really hard when so many things are difficult to achieve but any movement is helpful. :)
