[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2154216, member: 223921"] I am a prednisolone induced diabetic I have been taking it at various doses since I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis about 17 years ago I have now tapered down to 15 mg daily but no prospect of coming off it. as to reversal I have managed to keep my blood sugars in the normal range for some time now but it is not easy it requires strict control of carbohydrate intake and I also restrict calories . If you are able to come of preds there is a distinct possibility that diabetes will just go away this of course may depend on how long and at what dosage you have been taking them. Sometimes it just goes away sometimes people find it is permanent especially if there was a predisposition to diabetes before hand. You have my sympathy and hugs for you. I hope very much that you are one of those for whom diabetes disappears when no longer taking preds. Sorry I can't be of much more help. best wishes and good luck.:) [/QUOTE]
