[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2139052, member: 362123"] I guessing it was prednisone. I'd suggest perhaps getting your c-peptide checked to see how much insulin you are producing. Steriod induced T2 can damage the pancreas. I'd also imagine your bg levels have been high? If damage has been done and you are not producing enough insulin anymore, then that could well explain your muscle mass loss. At least that's what I'd do. If you are producing enough insulin then it may well just be muscle loss from taking a high dose of steriods for 10 wks. I'm a firm believer in resistance training while taking these drugs to counter the damage they do. Long term use can weaken not just muscles, but also bone density. It may well be worth finding out the cause of your muscle mass loss before spending money on whey protein and supplements if you are already eating plenty of protein and fat. [/QUOTE]
