One actual risk with Prednisone is steroid-induced diabetes. I got that in hospital when I was on steroids to try to decrease the swelling pressing on my spine post-surgery, and ended up getting insulin shots. Within a day or two of stopping steroids, the diabetes disappeared and my blood sugar was normal again.

Wow! I know there is a lot of caution on staying on steriods for extended time.

I know a lot of doctors have asked me about being on prednisone for a long period of time. Before I had sinus surgery I was on prednizone every time I got a sinus infection.

I am very interested in your post as my wife is a 1.5 diabetic and has been warned that predinzone and other steroids would affect her diabetes and it does.
