Message: <blockquote data-quote="xfieldok" data-source="post: 2290364" data-attributes="member: 460785">I am on prednisolone.  I have been reducing down fro 40 and now on 7mg.  I am not currently taking insulin, however, I found that after reducing, there is about a 2  week delay and I get a sudden spike and I have to take it again.  The 2 week delay has been consistent during the reduction period.The nurses at the surgery didn't have a clue.  Eventually, they told me that a Specialist Diabetic Nurse visited the surgery every month.  She knew exactly where I was coming from, together we sorted it out.  I ended up on 2 types of insulin.  One I took at the same time as the steroids, and the other for correcting it later on.I was eating keto before and durig the steroids, so the injections had nothing to do with food.  I used fingerpricks but more importantly the libre, to monitor my bloods.</blockquote>
