The reason I ask is my hubby is on lifetime steroids, started 2 year ago for a condition he has, not diagnosed with diabetes but his BG was running a bit high when he first started them but settled back down within a few months, he eats low carb along with me though he is a bit more flexible with about 50g carb a day I do 20g, he ate like this before the steroids, I’d be interesting to see if there is something different he could be doing to keep the steroid induced diabetes at bay</blockquote>
