[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2648879, member: 506169"] Was that spike to 11.8 measured at 2 hrs after first bite? If not it could be a red herring. One of the longer term side effects of Prednisolone is poorly controlled Diabetes. Steroids and stains are amongst the most common medications which raise Blood Glucose, but I have not previously heard about any of them increasing Insulin Resistance, which appears to be your situation since your fasting BG level was good. Of course your liver may be more active in dumping glucose into your blood stream is you are suffering from injury, illness, stress or lack of sleep. Though none of these would seem so account for your BG going much higher after food and regardless of carbs (i.e. high spike at 2hr mark even on a zero carb meal). [/QUOTE]
