Just a quick update about my husbands law suit with doctor who ga...

I was recently diagnos with type 2 diabetes after being rushed to the emergency room due to steroid I was using for my muscle injury. Though, no family history of diabetes. I was on the steroid for about a month before I noticed changes in my body like constant thirst, dry mouth, lack of sleep etc. My blood sugar has been normal so far (70's, 80's, 90's) but goes up to 120's, 130' and 140's when I eat and comes down after an hour or two after meal. I don't know if I will ever going to get out of this. It has been less than three weeks I've been off the steroid. I've changed my diets and now hopeing for the best.

Sorry to hear about your problem. Its been nearly 3 years since this happened to hubbie, hes is still diabetic and is on oral medication metformin. His blood sugars have increased over the last years and he has now doubled the dose hes on and having tests to see if they are working. How long where you on steriod medication for your muscles? It took about 4 weeks after this overdose of steriods for his bloods to come back nearly to normal and they seemed to stay down for about a year then started to climb. We still live in limbo to what damage has been done to him. I have heard of people who dont have any long term damage once the steriods are out of your system. I do hope this is your case.
Kind Regards
