Is Diabetes A Common Denominator For AL Amyloidosis?

A MyAmyloidosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Turlock, CA

I’m Type 2 diabetes, was trying to control it with medication and exercise, was able to do twenty-five every morning before work before most of the symptoms associated with al amyloidosis started showing, muscle weakness and shortness of breath. At one point was able to do 3.5 miles on the elliptical, all that went what seems overnight.

It must be it happened to me. But drs said the steroids caused it to happen. I’m off steroids now but I’m still on my Diabete meds A1C 6.5

They are both right, steroids will do that.

I don’t know about that but I do know that the steroid they give you for treatment raises your glucose levels
