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.
