Discussion: My attending physician prescribed me prednisone following severe inflammatory symptoms. I did feel a significant relief when I was taking the drug, but my condition worsened considerably when I stopped.

Diabetes is a disease that poisons all the body's cells, making the symptoms difficult to treat. Steroids are designed to moderate the body's natural inflammatory response but are intended for short periods. Recovery from diabetes requires restoring the immune system, just the opposite of the action of steroids. When the adrenal glands secrete a natural steroid, they regulate the dosage.

Prednisolone is a synthetic corticosteroid hormone that mimics the natural cortisol action secreted by the adrenal gland when needed. The hormone prednisone suppresses the immune system's activity and thus contributes to improving the various inflammatory symptoms. Medicine makes extensive use of steroids in a wide variety of medical conditions. (Autoimmune diseases, cancer, transplant patients, COPD, diabetes, and many inflammatory diseases.) However, steroids have severe side effects from prolonged use. Most importantly - steroids do not cure diabetes! They only temporarily suppress the symptoms at the painful cost of sustained damage to the immune system.
