Albeit not a new paper but in context still significant. (??)

The diagnosis of cataracts in steroid users may be because those on steroids tend to have more eye exam. (Which reminds me to book my next.)

I said it on the Facebook site when I saw it there but steroids definitely raise my sugar levels. Being a type 2 in remission I still test my bloods and know how much my sugars are raised by prednisolone

My wife sent me the link from the Facebook group and I’m aware some on here are on both groups, some of us like me are not though. Can I ask, what is your current dose of Pred?

[Koalajane in reply to Exflex]

my current dose is 6mg.
