@wadelmanpt Prednisone does that if you have a high dose. I had a high dose for a while and went from no diabetes medications to having to test and inject insulin a few times a day until my prednisone dose was reduced substantially.

I would not increase any medications without checking with the doctor who is treating you. When I was put on the high dose of prednisone it was after a liver transplant so I was under the care of an endocrinologist at the hospital for that immediate need but generally I would go to my regular endocrinologist. If the doctor who prescribed the prednisone is at the same hospital as your endocrinologist they probably do consult with each other. I am presuming that you are diabetic and do have an endocrinologist.

Please call the prescribing doctor tomorrow and find out if he/she can handle this, or if he/she wants you to see a particular endocrinologist for this, or if you should see your regular doctor.

That is certainly a lot of meds for your diabetes. Before doing anything, consult your doctor.

I assume that your primarily care physician is aware of (or prescribed) the prednisone; if not, you should talk to that office directly. However, I have had to take the typical steroid pack of prednisone and my blood sugar was close to 300 during that week before subsiding. I myself was instructed not to take additional doses of blood sugar medication during this time, and I would not advise taking any additional medication without your doctor’s instructions.
