After being treated for an autoimmune disease with high
doses of prednisone for an extended amount of time.I
started being real tired and when I mentioned to my new
doctor that I was taking 20mg of prednisone for a long time
now he checked my A1C and it was 10+ and that I was a
medicine induced diabetic,so I stopped taking them. I was
NEVER informed about developing diabetes from taking
prednisone.ONLY side effects I was told about was
osteoporosis. Now I'm on 1,000mg of metformin 2 times a
day. At one point I was on metformin & insulin, but thank
God I no longer have to take the insulin. Unfortunately I
have to live with this disease that I believe could have
been prevented if I was made aware of the side effects
before I was prescribed such high doses everyday for such a
long period of time! Is there ANYTHING that can be done
about this?
