Iv had numerous blood tests the last ones got results today .again diabetes came back again abnormal but understandable ??..at the moment I have a painful sore sole and small toe .its not the first time iv had this .I'm sure it could be related to the diabetes....and with the addisons .I'm struggling with my emotions. I get so overwhelmed. (Emotial tap ) it's got to the stage I couldn't have a disagreement or a option. If that makes sense .even a bit of a shock news I received. The tears come no warning ..if got intolarance to the cold as well .and osterthrosis. And other symptoms. I'm at gp in morning. And if there is any advice .information. by gratefully received

Hi pink rainbow, I take hydrocortisone because of low cortisol and was told by a Consultant in Chemical Pathology and Metabolic Medicine that oral steroids can increase your likelihood of getting diabetes. diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-med... .

I struggled for over a year to lose weight and exercise. The Consultant told my GP to immediately prescribe metformin. Yet, my endocrinologist seemed to be unaware that hydrocortisone could cause this problem. So much ignorance!! Good luck.
