Hello. I have been put on steroids for six days and find my BS has gone high 13.2 was so shocked because I'm pre diabetic it went down in an hour to 8.5 but really worried me. Has anyone been on steroids and find their BS high?
 
Hi there
Me too, and for a few days my BS is sometimes higher than I would expect from my diet. So longs as it reverts to normal with a few days of ceasing the terrors you should be fine. Also remember to drink more.

Hi. Steroids are a known problem area for diabetes. Try to minimise their use consistent with other medical conditions and with discussion with the GP. Some GPs are a bit too free with steroids and keep them going for a long time so do discuss the pros and cons.
