Since she was on pred for the diarrhea, does she have IBD? Off hand
I don't remember all of your previous posts.
Anyway, if it is IBD, have you considered Imuran? I don't know, but
I don't think Imuran will affect blood glucose levels.
Also, something else I find very useful with diarrhea is
acidopholus. I buy packets of granular acidopholus at the pharmacy,
and mix a little with their soup or in some Ferretone.
Just some suggestions.
