[QUOTE="MariaMc, post: 436587, member: 86358"] My daughter is on prednesol this week for a flare up of her asthma & her blood sugars have gone mental. She started yesterday with 30mgs & her sugars went from normal to 28.4 within a few hours. I had anticipated this happening as she has taken them before so I upped her bolus 20% at meals, it still took a corrrection of 4.5 units novorapid to being her below 20. today she is taking 20mgs so rise is not so dramitic but still very noticable. I think all you can do is increase insulin & wait it out. Steroids always drive her sugars crazy, but within 24/48 hours after finishing the course of steriods I can reduce her insulin again & things return to normal. [/QUOTE]
