Hi, I suffer from chronic asthma and have been on continuous steroids for over 10 years. In May 2005 I was diaganosed as having steroid induced diabetes. To start with I was treated with tablets but was switched to insulin in early 2007.

As the steroids raise my blood sugars I have to take higher doses of insulin, and because I get frequent chest infections I don't have very good control of my sugars. I get very frustrated as i eat a healthy diet. It would also be great to meet some others with steroid induced diabetes. Am looking forward to chatting soon
