The chemo nurses all seemed to know that the steroids could raise blood sugar. My fortnightly regime consisted of blood tests 2 days before each treatment cycle, an appointment with oncologist the following day, then on day 1 of treatment, the first solution injected was a hydrating fluid containing glucose as well as other stuff. Then steroids injected, then the first chemo, then the second chemo was attached to my port for 2 days and I got steroid tablets to take for those 2 days. So plenty steroids and glucose. Interesting to see that the steroids had such a direct reaction to your finger prick tests.</blockquote>
