[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2158409, member: 223921"] With PMR you normally would start on a high dose of preds but as it responds the dosage is usually stepped down but often only down to maintenance dose. I have been maintaining my blood sugars in mostly the normal range for some while I don't have PMR but my condition is also treated with preds and have been taking them for about 17 years now. I have never been on insulin only metformin and have gained some control by diet IE very low carb healthy fat though this may not work for every one insulin or other blood sugar reducing meds or low carb and like me maybe lowish calorie intake are I think your only alternatives as preds do what preds do and you can't really alter that. It maybe an idea if you ask your DN if it is possible to try diet or other meds for a while to see if you can bring your levels down. I though not on insulin would not hesitate to go on it if it was necessary Good luck You may hate preds but often they are all that keeps you going. [/QUOTE]
