Hi there- That’s rough managing both conditions. I don’t believe there’s much (if any) research to show cannabis or CBD would address the root cause of the PMR, but it could help with pain while you continue to try to taper. I’ve had some success with CBD topical cream (I’m sensitive to medication, so too nervous to try oral CBD or anything more), but everyone is different. It’s always been as an adjunct to medication, not a replacement though.

We’ve had some concerns with my A1C going up, and my dietician has suggested some other strategies such as increasing my intake of green tea, building up my strength training (muscle mass helps lower blood sugar), and gently adjusting when I have starchy foods. I’m not a diabetic though, and at risk of developing disordered eating, so that’s why her recommendations are more of the “gentle nutrition” variety, but thought I’d mention it in case any of this might help.
