[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1495043, member: 221545"] Just for info - the steroid I take, Prednisolone, has now been cut to 2.5mg and can still produce small spikes in my blood sugar. My diabetes was classed as Steroid Induced. My initial dose was 25mg daily. This produced spikes of more than 10mmols 2 hours after ingestion, dropping to about 6mmols after 4 or 5 hours (ie. pre-steroid reading of 6.0mmols; 2 hours post-steroid - 16mmols). It was only by demonstrating its impact through my own records that I persuaded my doctors (renal specialists) to gradually cut it to the current minimum. Imagine what a week of that kind of spiking does to your average (even over a 3 month period). It very much depends of the steroid, the dosage and the individual. [/QUOTE]
