    Hello all,

    Since 2012 I started taking prednisone 15mg per day together with other medication. The dosages were increased during flare ups and then decreased again. The moon face start appearing about 2015, and pro diabetes started too. I didn’t payed much attention to pro diabetes and I continued my lifestyle. Minimal exercise, eat everything, work from home. To cut the story short about June 2016 I was diagnosed with diabetes T2. Now on insulin and pills and only this year I managed to control the diabetes with the drugs and healthy diet. So ladies and gents diabetes T2 comes from prednisone as a very nasty side effect. Please make a favor to yourselves and check for pro diabetes and if you have it please eat healthy go on a diabetic diet. It is a very difficult situation to have PF and diabetes!
