[QUOTE="Catkysydney, post: 2070138, member: 493089"] I have a question. I have been having severe cough and diagnosed bronchitis from lung CT scan. I had 3 different antibiotics ( Augmenting Forte, Doxicyclin, Clindamycin) did not work.. finally the 4th antibiotics ( Ciprofloxacin ) worked ( I took them over 6 weeks ). But I still had a severe cough and phlegm. So I asked my doctor corticosteroids, he gave me inhalers( Simbicourt and Tirade ) as well. Cough and phlegm have got better. But my blood glucose level became very high ( 18.8 - 2hours after food ), it used to be 6.5 or 7.0... I managed it quite well before. I have been taking Sitagliptin 100mg everyday with strict diet. According to websites, corticosteroids increase blood glucose level significantly. So true... Will it be decreasing when I stop taking corticosteroids ? Is there anyone who had experience of corticosteroids ?? If so, your advice will be very much appreciated. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
