Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 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.
