So for past 10 about I had to order predisone from overseas,to control flareups.
My a1c reading in march showed me diabetes 2. I told the knuckle heads,probably due to predisone.They don't listen put me own metaformin, which makes telemeres longer,making you young again.
Well I forgot and thought I was taking diabetes drugs,but forgot it.
A1C is 5.5, no diabetes 2. So I take meds for teleomermes and weight loss
You secure prednisone overseas? Under prescription? Does the VA know this? Do you arrive at your doctor visits with a list of all the medications and dosages you currently take?

You have to be proactive about your health; don't assume that the Doctor who sees you at the VA remembers anything about your medical history that isn't on your chart...
