[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 2650059, member: 31362"] I was on Prednisolone for about 3 weeks trying to get rid of a chest infection with my COPD. Blood sugar levels were high no matter what I did. It took a week or two after stopping the pred but eventually they came back down under control so maybe don't worry too much yet. Regarding diet, everyone to their own. Personally, I eat a moderate carb diet (about half the reccomended daily level for a man, 150 grams per day) spread over 3 meals. I also ensure all food is low GI, and I use targeted exercise. I've been diabetic for over 20 years and still only take half rate metformin, nothing else, and only take that for the cardio vascular benefits it purports to provide; it doesn't do much to BGs at the rate I take it if your BGs are already well controlled. So, it's what works for you that counts - rely on the meter. [/QUOTE]
