Default Worried about Blood Sugar and Prednisone
Recently started a high dose of Prednisone to try to get my MG under control. The doctor put me on 60mg to start, now I am down to 50 and hope to continue very slowly downward. He mentioned all the side effects -- one of them being sugar. Since my husband monitors his Blood Sugar, I started doing the same. The morning reading is usually under 100, centering around 80. The other reading I am taking is two hours after dinner and most often it is in the 220 or 230 range. I plan to take this data to my doctor. I would be interested in hearing others advice. (I am not fit, not slim, not young, and not doing well enough for regular exercise yet).
