I know medications including prednisone can raise blood sugars, but I've surprised my doctor and myself in keeping blood sugar low and even losing 2 stone in weight since starting on prednisolone for PMR in May. I'm on a low carbohydrate, nutrient-dense diet, eating lots of calcium rich dairy foods to help with prednisolone bone loss.

Yesterday's blood test results gave me a big lift which I really needed. Fasting blood sugar:36, electrolytes all good, blood cells all good, ESR (inflammation):5 - extra good. I put these good results down to the strict low carb & low oxalate diet, avoiding processed food with all their chemical additives, and moving more.

Have you tried dietary changes to help with blood sugars?
