[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 1641954, member: 223921"] I had been taking high dosages of steroids for years diabetes is a well known side effect yet it was never checked for. It was not till I reported a loss of sensation in my feet to my neurologist that a HbA1c was done even then my GP refused to acknowledge that I was in fact diabetic. Regular screening should be carried out if only for those at known high risk of diabetes. When you go to the doctors they will usually check your BP as a matter of routine why not carry out a simple finger prick test as well. It won't be definitive but would give some sort of indication that further investigation may be required. [/QUOTE]
