Hi. Steroids are a big problem for us and there is no easy solution. Ensure that the steroid dose is the lowest the GP thinks does the job. Keep the carbs in your diet quite low and you may need some diabetic tablets to help. In the extreme the GP could put you onto insulin for a while but I suspect that would only be last a resort and tablets do the job anyway.
