[QUOTE="Westie2, post: 432527, member: 72796"] Jenny P The dose you are on for adrenal insufficiency may look high, but remember the hydrocortisone/ prednisolone is replacing the steroid your body is not able to make itself. You may need to discuss your concerns with your consultant. Asthmatics who are having an exacerbation will be given 30-60mg for 5-7 days depending on their peak flow readings and their breathing difficulty. The purpose of the steroids is to reduce the inflammation in the airways, but as it acts systemically it will reduce any inflammation and because it is being given in addition to normal circulating steroids it will affect BG. So if you are concerned about your levels discuss with your consultant or CNS.
