    thoughts and prayers go out to you...

    Steroids can cause blood sugars to rise. This does not surprise me. You may have to adjust your diabetic medication temporarily.
    May 2008 Fusion T4 - S1, Pre-op Curves T45, L70 (age 48). Unsuccessful surgery.

    March 18, 2010 (age 50). Revision with L3 Osteotomy, Replacement of hardware T11 - S1 , addition of bilateral pelvic fixation. Correction of sagittal imbalance and kyphosis.

    January 24, 2012 (age 52) Revision to repair pseudoarthrosis and 2 broken rods at L3/L4.

      oh gosh...i completely forgot...i had that happen with oral prednisone some years ago...i am not diabetic, but i could feel the difference...also, if i ate a brownie, i didnt get a "rush" the way i usually do! i knew it was off!
      didnt realize injections of steroid could throw it off as much as oral meds...
      what a huge difference, though!

      am sure your PCP will have an answer for you today...

      best of luck...please let us know how your appointment went this morning...
