I have a problem. I am type 2 in remission and suffering with macular oedema. My opthamologist says it has worsened and it is due to the sugar spikes from my prednisolone that I take for Polymyalgia Rheumatica. She says I need a diabetic review.
My hba1c is 40 but about 3 hours after taking the prednisolone my sugars spike to about 8 for about 3 to 4 hours.
My problem is should I reduce my steroids even though this will cause pain or should I try to not have my sugars so low ( in the 5s ) the rest of the time so the spikes will not be as sharp. Any thoughts
