Oh, the joys of Pred. I'm sorry you have Pred-induced diabetes. Or have they determined it to be Type I diabetes?

I have a friend with Pred-induced diabetes, and complications. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I hope they can bring down the Pred, keep your MG happy and get rid of the diabetes. Geez, you don't need more than the MG going on.

I have a hate-hate relationship with Pred. I know it helps with the autoimmune process but I for one will never take it again.

Sue, You are basically right! What Pred does is do the work of the adrenals. The adrenals take a "holiday" when someone is taking Pred. And, yes, Pred does affect glucose.

You need to be so very careful if you do withdraw from Pred. If you do, look for any signs like a drop in blood pressure, sweats, feeling "out of it" or being extremely tired. All are signs of an adrenal crisis.

I'm sorry you are having to go through this. You are way too young for all of this to be happening.
