[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2267271, member: 41816"] Hi [USER=466107]@whyme_again[/USER] Steroids are notorious for raising blood glucose levels, so I would hope/expect your doctor to be able to deal with this through medication. My only comment is that if your blood glucose is rising and falling from the steroids (you would have to test regularly to find out when and if this happening), then adding more medication into the mix may need even more careful testing to avoid you going hypo. Diet, and carb reduction would factor into this too. If your steroids are causing your blood glucose to rise and then stay constantly high (again, this needs consistent testing to discover), then that may well inform your doc's choice of medication and will reduce the chance of hypos. Please let us know how you get on? [/QUOTE]
