Hyperglycemia: Steroids will always result in a transient spike on blood sugars. You dont mention whether or not you have diabetes mellitus. Regarding your elevated blood sugars, contact your pcp or diabetologist regading the use of a sliding scale of Insulin dosing during this short time of blood sugar elevation. Make sure you watch your diet and exercise as you can...
