[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2328107, member: 93179"] Yes - do a search - there have been several threads about steroids raising glucose levels, and some people are on them long term My experience has been a couple of times with single cortico-steroid injections, and my glucose levels went up almost immediately and remained higher for several days. Your HbA1c unfortunately [B]will[/B] be accurate, because your glucose levels have risen, though this shouldn't have too much of an impact if the tablets are only just for a week. and your levels should come back down again once the course is finished. But it's no bad reflection on you - [B]all sorts of things beyond our immediate control can and do affect glucose levels[/B] - it's part of diabetic life and we just have to accept that this happens. It's more important that you get the Bells Palsy sorted than worrying about a minor blip in your HbA1c. I get slight variations in my HbA1c results all the time, and my last check was (due to stress and illness) highest since just after diagnosis seven years ago, but I know that low carbing keeps my glucose pretty well under control long term.
