When I woke up this morning at 8am my BG was 5.3. I then lay in bed for another couple of hours (lazy day!) and didn't eat or drink anything. I tested again two hours later and my BG was 8. Could this be a liver dump?
I took some medication in that time-frame, inc. 5mg of prednisolone which I know affects blood sugars but I didn't think it did it that quickly, I always thought it was more of a general effect rather than specifically spiking it after taking the steroids.
I'm working really hard on keeping my sugars under control so I'm a bit dismayed by why it would shoot to 8 like that.
