It seems quite obvious the steroids are the culprit.Unfortunately, many steroids (and especially glucocorticoids) are absolute h*ll on your body. In someone without T1, they can hinder your beta-cells' ability to produce insulin, and in addition can make your cells extremely resistant to insulin. In so many words, it's the equivalent of having both T1 and T2 at the same time.As far as what to do about it? That's a very dangerous question and one we aren't qualified to answer. When I was given oral glucocorticoids (prednisone) I was gradually tapered off of them I'm sure for similar reasons. With an injection, you don't have this capability so I'm not sure.</blockquote>
