[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 1791285, member: 223921"] If your diabetes is drug induced then you are type 3E like me by the way prednisolone actually directly interferes with the livers sensitivity to insulin so insulin produced by your pancreas does not modify the amount of blood sugar being given out by the liver even in the presence of large amounts of insulin in your system so driving up blood sugar and insulin resistance. This applies to injected insulin also. but as the effect of the preds can fluctuate you can suddenly have the livers sensitivity restored for short periods and a consequent lowering of blood sugar causing the odd hypo. So even T1s or insulin dependent T2s need to be aware of this. If they take prednisolone. [/QUOTE]
