Just now reading your post ... I too have been having the same problems with my blood sugar. For many yrs {prior to WG} I dealt with low blood sugar; then with the introduction of steroids to my daily regime it turned into full blown diabetes. At one point, mine were so high that my meter would not even register {but then I was on 120 mg daily of prednisone}. So my rheumy & pcp referred me to an Endo for consultation. He has been excellent, BS is getting better controlled; I'm on Metformin 1000 mg twice daily along with Lantus during the day & Novolog at bedtime. As my rheumy reduces the steroid dosage, my BS is lowering and we are tapering down on insulin's as well. Just have to continue monitoring, I notice that my afternoon sugars are usually the highest due to taking steroid in am. This is all such an adventure - WG {and the meds to treat} sure wrecks havoc on our bodies {not to mention our emotions}. Hang in there ..... this too shall end one day!
