We need to know the nature of his Lung problem....the key question is why he has been placed on Prednisolone? This is a steroid known to raise blood sugar. If he can be taken off the steroid medication, his elevated blood sugar would come down. It may also be possible to reduce his steroid dose which will lower his blood sugar. His treating physician can help address this issue better.
