[QUOTE="Wojciechu, post: 2172226, member: 515234"] Hello everyone. As you might remember my thread from "Newly Diagnosed", I am the person that developed diabetes from taking high dose prednisone for several months. I am about to cease all medication next month. My diabetologist says there is a chance that my diabetes will go away once I stop taking steroids altogether - however, he didn't give me a timeline. While nowadays on low dose I can maintain blood sugars of 5-7 mmol/L range by not eating carbs and exercise daily - yet when I try to eat bread or noodles my glucose shoots through the roof. I was wondering whether someone knows when would be the best time to test my carb tolerance and insulin resistance? a day, week, month, year after stopping steroids? I wanna know whether I have developed full-blown type 2. Please forgive me - the very thought of developing diabetes by taking some pills makes my blood boil. [/QUOTE]
