Steroids,potential side effect: Diabetes?!

[Nocturno]

It's amazing how much information you can get about the danger and benefits of using juice. I'm more and more aware of there dangers, but how likely are some gear to produce some high blood sugar in you?

This is the only usefull information I really got from one site.


Steroid medications, such as prednisone and other synthetic steroids, can cause a rise in blood sugar by blocking the effect of insulin, the hormone responsible for controlling blood sugar. Over time, this may lead to type 2 (formerly called adult-onset or noninsulin-dependent) diabetes.

Not everyone taking steroids has elevated blood sugar levels or gets type 2 diabetes. The risk is greater with higher doses and longer duration of steroid treatment. Other factors that may increase your risk of steroid-induced diabetes include:

Personal history of elevated blood sugar or type 2 diabetes

Family history of type 2 diabetes

Obesity


My question is then: How likely is to develop some diabetes from a 10 week cycle on such low doses of 400mg EQ and 600mg Cypionate for 10 weeks. Those two have a low high blood pressure incidence, dose this help to reduce the risk of diabetes or what? Don't understand this part, does this help?

ZERO.....


prednisone is a CORTICOSTEROID, similar to CORTISOL. It is not an anabolic steroid.

with even fairly short term use drugs like predinisone can cause serious health problems. Though the diabetes issue is with long term use and usually due in great part to fat gain from corticosteroid use.

though AS can affect blood sugar and insulin sensitivity, they will not cause type II diabetes.
