Harv.

Just a thought. Maybe people with age related diabetes have more
weight problems than the general population and this would be
reflected in wear on their joints.

PS and OTT.
I had a colonography today (ie CT scan of the colon). It strikes me
that this procedure could be likened to form of high tech torture. A
couple of people stick needles in your arms, another shoves a pipe up
your rear. They then blow you up and give you a dose of radiation !
But, I suppose, the end justifies the means.

Hope you are OK.

This is true. Since I've lost over 100 lbs, my A1C went from 11.4 to 6.2
and my knees do not hurt anywhere near what they used to. I can ice
skate again, and am seriously thinking about trying my bicycle once the
weather gets nicer.

Funny how they don't even mention the effects of prednisone and its
cousins on blood sugar!

Boy, Alice, isn't that the truth!!! It really boggles my mind what the
steroids do to ones blood sugar levels and how quickly it effects those
levels. When I am in the hospital and they are doing the big time IV
steroids, whew, my blood sugars go through the roof!!!

hmmm . . . i tend to think that arthritis had its foothold long before adult
onset diabetes reared its ugly head. not all arthritics are obese. i had
arthritis when i was a tiny thing in my twenties. but i can see where
arthritis would cause less mobility, more likelihood of weight gain, setting
the stage for diabetes. not the other way around.

It is one of my catch 22s. High dose steroids is what is required to clean
up my lungs,,,,,,, sends my sugar through the roof.

Heck, I weighted 105 pounds when I was released from the hospital after my
first really major asthma round. And had never weighed more that 120 in my
life. Prednisone was the only thing that kept me breathing then. In four
months I weighed 150. Its been all uphill from there.

Which reminds me. (Thanks Guys) I have to go take a damn pill. I'm doing
pretty well right now without it, but will crash by tonight if I forget.
And its going to be another long, slow taper.
