Out of control thirst! Prednisone weaning or Humira starting?

Is there a chance that you are diabetic? When I am on prednisone or other steroids I become a steroid induced type 2 diabetic. One of the first signs is extreme thirst without the ability to quench it. Another is getting up day and night to urinate because the kidneys and pancreas being worked so hard due to the sugars not processing. You may want to have you A1C tested to just make sure that you are not type 2. I have a huge family history of diabetes and never displayed any of the signs of diabetes until I was on prednisone for a long time and started to wean myself off of them. Luckily, my internal medicine doctor is also my father's doc and had been monitoring me and my levels without telling me. He put me on medication right off the bat when my A1C hit in the 9s. Now that I am off steroids and back on remicade my A1C is in the 5s and I am off the diabetes medications altogether. Steroids will do this to us even though we don't hear much about it. There are a few others with the same situation on here.

My first thought too. I would bring this to your doctors attention. Good luck!
