Yes, and my glucose levels have always been just fine. But after takeing prednisone, glucose as well as mnay other blood test results have gone outside the acceptable levels. Hoping things can get back to normal, as I progress.

It appears to be fairly common for glucose levels to increase while on prednisone. Whether this matters is better determined by an A1C test than a CMP glucose level, which can be all over the map by comparison.
My CMP glucose was high and unpredictable, so we did an A1C, which showed above normal but not problematic. As I have tapered off prednisone (now at 2), my CMP glucose levels are sometimes elevated, but my A1C continues to decline and is now just slightly above normal.
I too had dizziness on numerous occasions while on higher doses of prednisone, like between 5 and 10. All gone now. Good luck, and be patient.
