Kenalog and bloods

Just a quick update about my husbands law suit with doctor who gave him 6 shots of kenalog for gout in his feet, legs, and knees. Russell ended up rushed into hospital with steriod induced diabetes and was told he would be inusulin dependant for the rest of his life, although his records went missing from hospital shortly after he was admitted. the doctor acting for the solictor came to examine him and has told us he has found letters from the hospital to our doctors and the interesting fact that I think everyone should know, he told us that the manufactors of kenalog suggest a maxium dose of 80 ml he told us Russell was injected with 320ml. We were also told that even though what he went through was very frighting because he did not die, we haven't got a positive case for sueing the doctor. ( but we still are continuing with the law suit)
Russell is not using insulin anymore as the steriods have came out of his body and his pancreas started again, although he is now classed as diabetic type 2 ( diet controlled)

Hi
I posted on this site in Jan 05, after my husband was rushed into hospital 3 days after multiple kenalog shots for his joints ( gout) He was told he was diabetic type 1 and would be using inuslin for the rest of his life. His body had started closing down his organs. He was on drip for 6 days, lost a stone in weight in 3 days prior to getting into hospital. I kept saying it was the injections, Cut a long story short he stopped using insulin injections within a month and his bloods have came to nearly normal. He is still treat as diabetic ( type 2) no medication, diet controlled. You cannot go from Type 1 to Type 2. We are in the process of going to court with the doctor who gave him the shots, we were not warned of any of this side effect. We have been told it will take a long time to sort out, but what really worrys me, if Kenalog came make the pancreas stop making insulin, and thank -god his started working again. What in the future if it is badly damaged and stops altogether? Can I thank the person who put the information on the site about dosage and side effects. Would you believe the hospital has lost my husbands records. I hope if this happens to any-one else this piece of informtation may help. Not only did Kenalog change my husbands life but 4 months later I had a heart attack and they have put it down to stress ( I am 44 and my husband is 45)We both had no serious illnesses ever but now!!!!! WHO KNOWS
