    Steroid injection

    I had a steroid injection in my knee on Friday and since then my blood readings have really spiked. It did say this might happen on the bumph I got with it, but I’m a little concerned as I’ve worked really hard to control it, and now this. It doesn’t say how long it will last. Any ideas please?
