[QUOTE="Lally123, post: 1919035, member: 379571"] Don't quote me on this but I was always taught that steroid increases insulin resistance which is why the sugars go up? And regarding your previous post, I look after a lot of patients for whom steroid is often given as rescue therapy during flares and normally the blood glucose levels return to normal after, unless they were an undiagnosed diabetic beforehand. Depends on the length of treatment but bells palsy treatment is usually time limited so you should see a gradual improvement as the dose reduces. Good luck for your recovery. [/QUOTE]
