Message: <blockquote data-quote="Poodlelady" data-source="post: 228361" data-attributes="member: 37131">I am really scared of having the second steroid injection in my shoulder.  My left shoulder is very much improved after the steroid injection, however; I really struggled with very high glucose levels and no help at first.  Then when they hit the high 30'smmol my dr took an interest and with juggling my insulin we started to get the glucose levels down into the 20's then high teens, with low teens in the morning.I am really scared of having the second injection, and think I would rather put up with the pain in my right arm and shoulder than go through that again as my glucose levels are starting to sort themselves out now.  I have to stay on a low dose of steroid tablets for the next 2 years.I really don't know what to do, the nurses as the clinic were more than useless telling me I should know what to do.  I have only been diabetic since March, and no, I do not know what to do in these extreme conditions.  My dr, I think is going to teach me about insulin units and glucose levels which is really reassuring.</blockquote>
