I am a transplant recipient and now a steroid induced diabetic. Will I ever get rid of the diabetes? I was not diabetic prior to my transplant. Hoping to be non diabetic soon.

I really don't know too much about that. This is definitely something you should be discussing with your transplant team.For me, after about 5 years out I was weaned off Prednisone and have never had to restart it. The steroids were weakening my bones and was very grateful that I was able to stop taking it.

Not what you're looking for?

Until what age can someone be qualified to have a kidney transplant? My nephro told me until 70 and takes 8 yrs on the waiting list?

How long does one have to be on the waiting list for a deceased donor kidney transplant?
