Being diabetic and taking steroids of any kind is bad. They can really raise your blood sugar, but it is a common treatment for severe asthma. Some of the weight you gained is probably from water retention from the steriod use. It causese this. . It may take a several months, but the weight will come off. I used to have to take prednisone a lot for asthma and pneumonia. Back then I was not diabetic, but my doctor has told me that taking them could be why I developed diabetes when I did. The rest of the weight is from your bindging and too many carbs and having to increase the insulin amount Your blood sugar is out of control, that’s why you have the cravings you are having. Get to the doctor and see what he say, and try the South Beach Diet. It’s safe and easy and very healthy for diabetics. Ask your doctor about taking Symlin. It is an injectable that you take before each meal. It helps you feel full, and keeps blood sugar from swinging high and low. You can only take it if you are already on insulin. It can reduce the amount of insulin you take by 50%. It also helps you lose weight. Nausea is a side effect of the drug. But I just take a dramamine. Nausea only lasts for awhile.
