When we saw the PA on Tuesday they did blood work. Yesterday we met with a patient coach who set us up with all of the necessary equipment for testing blood sugars. It was explained that since my husband is experiencing the high blood sugars due to the steroids it is not the same as type 1 or type 2 diabetes. His glipizide was increased to 10 mg with breakfast. He will decrease his steroid to 5 mg a day.
