Low blood sugar on prednisone

I don't have any concerning symptoms but my fasting blood sugar has dropped about 15 points since I've been on prednisone. For me that has been a good thing since my readings were running at 100 to 105. Prednisone is supposed to raise blood sugar but just another example of how it affects people differently.

I have the similar results as you… I checked online if it’s a concern and it urges those people who experience it to check with the doctor. My primary care doesn’t seem concerned and my rheumatologist just refers it back to her. That’s why I’m seeing a specialist to get to the bottom of things. If it is negatively impacting my health I want to know. Hoping I get I get some answers.
