Hi! You sound just like me! I am on 4 mg of Predisone and add in hydrocortisone when I have emotional stress or sick. I too have type 2 diabetes. I dose 3 times a day. When I had my adrenal glands out I was always dosing 3x a day. It works better for me. Are you on insulin? 60 mg is a high dose. Have you tried to wean down and it just doesn’t work for you? You are on great vitamins. I drink a Starbucks green tea and just having a little caffeine helps so much. I don’t like to drink a lot of caffeine just enough to give me some energy. I lay down during the day, I try not to nap because then I will be up late. 1. Try and wean 2. Add a little caffeine 3. Try to take a walk 4. Do little things to keep you busy I unfortunately just push myself through most days. Al of the best to you!! Take care

I have weaned down to 25 mg first thing in the morning, 15 mg of hydrocortisone and a half tablet of 0.1 mg if fludrocortisone at 11 a.m., 5 mg of hydrocortisone and 0.1 mg of fludrocortisone at 2 p.m. I have to nap everyday. I do stay busy as much as I can to keep going. I'm not on insulin. I'm on 2000 mg of metformin and 10 mg of jardiance a day. I do have a feeling that I will probably end up on insulin eventually. My husband is a type 1 diabetic and he has the omnipod and the Libre sensors. It has changed his life.

My doctor hasn't mentioned putting me on prednisone yet and I'm very leery of taking it due to seeing what it did to my mom.

I take my first dose of hydrocortisone (20mg) and Fludrocortisone (2x 0.1mg) at 4am when I am still in bed and go back to sleep. I know it sounds weird, but a normal persons body will release cortisol around 4 am to wake you up naturally. I am by no means a medical professional, this is just what I do. I have had type 1 diabetes for ovr 20 yrs and Addison’s since 2014. I have tried MANY different doses, times, schedules, breaking it up 4-6 times a day. I have to switch back and forth between hydrocortisone and prednisone about every 6 months to a year because it will just slowly stop working and they are interchangeable. I have also noticed that if I forget to take the fludrocortisone I can not get out of bed. Just so tired. I do still take a nap everyday though. And in the summer I take an extra 0.1mg of fludro because of the heat and humidity. I take another dose of 5mg of hydrocortisone around 5pm. I know when you are first diagnosed they put you on a higher dose of steroids because yr body has been without them, but then slowly wean you of to a more “ normal “ dose which is based on body mass, but usually around 25-30mg daily.

Ok. First, ask your doctor. See an Oncologist. I take hydrocortisone three times a day and it literally keeps me alive. I'm also tired a lot, but naps are very helpful
