I just spent the last 30 minutes researching side effects of all 7 of my medications. OMG! Only one has no evidence of increasing BG levels. The others can or do increase BG levels. One more thing to discuss with my Dr. next week. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Thanks. No, so far no steroids for the COPD. Last year I had to take them for a week, but not since. I have no idea about the other medication, like the statin for cholesterol or the medication for blood pressure. Perhaps they could be a contributory factor.

Thank you for the information. It gives me hope, perhaps with more work I can achieve what you have.

I am a newbie here. Appreciate your sharing this. I, too, have a couple other medical issues which may cause additional problems. In the past I was on steroids for breathing, but haven't needed them for a while - doubt I would have thought that they could impact my Bg, without having read your...
