Steroids unfortunately makes it harder for the body to absorb insulin. I had to be put on prednisone 40mg daily for about a week and I remember I had to take extra units of both my basal and bolus insulin to try and keep my blood glucose levels in the normal range because the prednisone was spiking my blood glucose levels.Speak to your doctors and see if that's the reason why you're having trouble and if it is the reason, then ask them what you should do. You can also ask the doctor in charge of prescribing you medicine for your immune system (prednisone tablets) if they have an alternative that you can take, which won't have an affect on your diabetes.</blockquote>
