[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 616863, member: 14029"] Hi James, steroids do cause your blood sugar too rise that is one of the unfortunate side effects of it :( An endocrinologist told me years ago that the it takes about 2 units of insulin too 1mg of pred to keep your numbers down. Obviously this was general info so you need to adjust your insulin so you are under control. Personally I find once taken in the morning blood sugars start to rise very slowly about 10 AM. I use a pump so can obviously set my basal to compensate for this. You need to look at increasing your basal and also your meal time bolus. Lots of testing and record keeping will help no end in this dept. [/QUOTE]
