I have two auto immune problems so I love the steroids (yes, I admit I have a problem
). They always make me feel better...eventually.
Unfortunately, I've gotten to the point that when I take steroids, I go into a diabetic state. Last time it got so bad, I had to go to the hospital until they could get my blood sugar under control. After the 'roids have cleared out of my system, my blood sugar goes back to normal & I have no signs of diabetes.
OK, the obvious answer is
no more steroids. But, I hate being to the point where I can't do anything because I'm sick (I know-who doesn't
).
So, my question is, does anyone know how to keep their blood sugar on track while they are on steroids? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michelle
