[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2259973, member: 223921"] Steroids are nasty and unpredictable I was on 40mg for about fifteen years though was for short periods on higher doses now down to 15mg but that's as low as my neuro predicts it going at the moment trouble with prednisolone is it interferes with the liver's sensitivity to insulin so the liver dumps glucose into your system most of the time but this activity can wax and wain as at times for some reason it stops reducing the liver's sensitivity for a while and so the liver gets hit with all that insulin it never knew was there and totally shuts down glucose production and you can as I have experienced on the odd occasion end up with a drop in blood sugar and end up with a hypo well this is how it was explained to me so with changes in prednisolone doses you can get wildly unpredictable variations in BG especially if you are trying to control things with very low carbohydrate levels in your diet.
