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. Peter > 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. 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.

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!!! . . . . Donna . . . . 1.)

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. Harv 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. kate http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/08/AR2008050801994.html > hmmm . . . i tend to think that arthritis had its foothold long before > adult [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > kate 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. Jo
