[QUOTE="jomar_uk, post: 2650113, member: 519353"] I truly feel for you. I was on preds till I was switched to a 3 monthly reducing course of Entecort (steroid specifically devoted for Crohns in small bowel as well as other areas). The steroid caused me to have “steroid induced diabetes T2”. Whilst an in patient was put on met Forman and cliciacide? As my BG went really height. Even in hospital whatever I ate seemed to spike them. The meds kicked in and I still have to be extra careful. I am very much a beginner but I do know steroids can create havoc with BG readings. Update, today is my last steroid so have to stay on metfirmin only and check my BG a lot daily especially next few days & weeks as my body withdraws from the steroid. Someone wisely also advised me on here if your BG seems higher than expected to take a second BG test in case the test strip is “faulty” You have my admiration getting this far. Kind regards, JoMar Ps can you not phone your hospital dietician or even your community diabetes team (in UK operates in conjunction with GP and where neccessary the hospital?) [/QUOTE]
