Hi ksdm, Yes, I check my blood sugar levels alot and have a sensor that also alerts me when it begins to go low or even too high. Some days I have to force myself to eat just to get it normalized again. Thanks for letting me know that the blood sugar can get very high on prednisone. I'm not certain what all to do regarding it getting high so will be talking with my Endo at the next appointment. How are you doing with your back spasms and what do you do to get your blood sugar down to a better number?
