I would like to find out what other foods, supplements, vitamins,and medicines are better than Prednisone. I have type 2 diabetes and prednisolone increases A1c.

Welcome @600dave600, I did start eating a better during my second experience with PMR and it helped me get off of prednisone sooner than my first time around with PMR. Here's some information on the topic that you might find helpful:

--- Low-carb healthy fat living. Intermittent fasting. What’s your why?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/low-carb-healthy-fat-living-intermittent-fasting-whats-your-why/.

Have you discussed alternatives with your doctor to see if they might have some suggestions?
