Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Well, that answers some things for me. My blood pressure has been elevated and some blood work showed that I may be prediabetic. My Ob/Gyn put me on some meds for it because I've been trying to conceive and some of my bloodwork showed me positive for PCOS which is part of a diabetic or insulin resistant. Thanks for the tip! mary folse wrote: Well, everyone, I am really aggravated. Upon further review of the lovely IV pulse steroids and the prednisone we take, I have discovered that a lovely little side effect is becoming PREDIABETIC. Now, no, I am not entertaining more problems. I just knew that somehow I was not digesting food the same, or feeling as well as I could, etc. My blood pressure is mildly elevated, I am on meds. But because of the affect of the "roids" on insulin metabolism, well, yep, it can help you get into a prediabetic type state. So watch the diet as best you can, get lots of potassium, as much as possible with food. Don't forget your calcium and magnesium...the roids' drain your bones...And, be aware that you may not digest sugar as easily as you did when you were not being treated with the steroids.
