MDJunction to me

"Before i found MDJ i was in the deepest darkest part of my life after my abduction. I wanted to feel safe. I wanted that sense of being a normal person.Finding MDJ and the people with in it has steered me down the correct path into the light of hope. The feeling of hope that i was not alone,the feeling of hope of understanding,and the feeling of hope to move on. I never give up hope." (1magicman)

I'm back on Prednisone again. Checked my blood sugar yesterday (co-worked is diabetic) and it was 190; a little high. Will check again today but wanted to know if this is common and how you addressed it. Thanks ahead of time.

I have to go on insulin when I am on steroids. Steroid induced diabetes they call it.
