Hi All

Has anyone tried abiraterone without the steroids they prescribe alongside?

I'm just looking at options as the steroids raise my blood sugar and I have just got the result of my 3 monthly HbA1C test (as I'm 
diabetic) and it has gone up to 59 from 50

I just wondered how bad the side effects of abiraterone without steroids would be as I cant talk to the diabetic nurse until 18/3/25

Getting pissed off with it all 

I used to be fairly well controlled but since taking steroids that's gone

Yesterday all I had to eat all day was 2 digestive biscuits for breakfast and my blood sugar was over 12 all day until they wore off around 6pm

I just wondered if anyone had tried without steroids

I'm not going to stop taking them but it will give me more knowledge when I talk to the Oncology consultant on the 21st

Thanks

Martin
