Prednisone and Blood Sugar

[mrtmeo]

I had steroid-induced hyperglycemia when I was on high dose pred for a bit. It resolved itself once I got to lower doses. That's very common. See if she can increase her protein--especially raw proteins-- which will stabilize her blood sugar better. Snacking on things like nuts every few hours helps a lot.

She has dentures but never wears them, so eating nuts is out, sigh.
I can give her nut butters, but don't have anything to put them on, so I will mix them in protein shakes.
She is hard to feed because she is very finicky...damn kids!

Does she eat a lot of soft white stuff, like breads, cakes, etc....?

I just went to my local doctor and she put me on Metformin. We'll see if it helps.

She wants to but all grains are out due to carbs.
