Steroid meds raising BG levels (self.t1diabetes)

Been put on corticosteroid meds to counter a severe infection. Boy it messes with my BG. My Insulin sensitivity is about halved so need much more to keep my BG sensible.

The doctor didn’t warn me of this, but luckily the pharmacist did so I was at least aware it could happen. Tomorrow’s the last day for it thank goodness.

It isn't the steroids, it's the infection.
