solumedrol high blood sugar

t had any issues with high blood sugar since. I would have to agree with Lu here on this one and say you really should contact your doctor about your new consistently numbers. They could be due to Copaxone, but it may actually be that you may need one of your T2 meds adjusted or changed.

This is a good drug, but very hard on someone that is prone to high blood pressure and high blood sugar. Her first treatment with Solumedrol, did not seem to work for her, as well as it did for me. My Optic Neuritis (abbreviated- O.N.) was totally gone in 2 weeks. She said her one eye never really went back to normal. Now the other eye starts. Since the beginning of her attack, she has not been in remission yet. This is a long first attack. I pray for a remission.

Just a quick update. Finished steroids yesterday and slept better last night. Blood glucose quite high but told this is normal and they will check in 2 weeks to see if it comes down. Not back to work full time as taking it slow. Im sure in 2 weeks I will feel back to my normal self. Just so glad I decided to take the steroids.

I have a 9 month old Baby boy, past tuesday we went to the ER because a fever and cough, after the respiratory therapies and solumedrol they took a blood sample of my baby and the sugar levels were very high I believe (229) and the doctor said it was because of the solumedrol, after that it never was lower than 120-123 even without eating for 5 hours. I like to know if this is normal or i should go to a specialist? Thanks for you help.

It is possible to develop diabetes with long term steroid use but it takes longer than a few weeks to happen (lots longer). It is however, pretty much the norm to see blood sugar elevations in non-diabetics taking steroids. Some people receiving them while hospitalized may even need occasional insulin coverage. They return to normal when the steroid therapy is ended. (A little like gestational diabetes in pregnant women.

I hope someone here can answer your questions. I'll be interested to hear other responses. I've been taking Copaxone for less than a month now, so I can't answer. I will watching future posts to see if anyone else is having problems or if someone knows of a connection. My dad has diabetes and I've had gestational diabetes. I've also had mild high blood sugar off and on for many years. Are you taking anything for the kidney disease or lupus?

I went to the ER not long ago and I was told I had very high blood sugar, I had not eaten anything for more than 8 hours other than toast.

After I gave him something really sweet to drink about 45 minutes later he was ready to eat. So do we have a problem with low sugar or high sugar? Is this something to worry about? He cant't talk so he can't tell us how he feels. My husband won't have insurance until the end of April. So were kinda stuck at the moment with being able to get anyone to help us. We were also told that since his seizures last that long we should really be worrying about brain deteriation.

I had mentioned to a friend with a diabetic son that after I exercise(run) in the morning my blood sugar will sometimes shoot up 100-150 points and this is after a reading of 120-150 prior to running on my treadmill. I then have readings that are 200-250 and I get very frustrated! I am a type I diabetic for 26 years. I thought this was strange seeing that I had not eaten anything to make my blood sugar climb so high.

I m Type-1 diabetic from last 15 years and my blood sugar level used to be under control but from last 2 Weeks, my sugar level fluctuates a lot. Fasting blood sugar is nearly around 300 : before dinner around 500 and after dinner its around 400.There is no change in my diet,exercise or my daily routine pattern. Even I take short acting insulin(novorapid) when my sugar level goes beyond 300 but it doesn't make much difference. I m really worried.

Can someone tell me how high your blood sugar should get before you become alarmed or call the doctor? I have not been diagnosed but a few months and my doctor has not told me much of nothing. My sugar keeps going up and down, my doctor won't put me on medicine(the highest its been is 400+, the lowest 60) Thanks for your help!!!

All these things greatly influence blood sugar. If you have been unable to get your blood sugar stable at all, these are things you need to work on. I hope your husband gets better soon.

Good Morning, I have a question about high blood sugar levels that don't seem to stabilize. My boyfriend has been struggling for years with high blood sugar. He told me this morning that his level was at 480+!!!! He says he doesn't feel any different whether it's high or low. The lowest it's been (to my knowledge) is still in the high range of 200+.

Good for you and bravo for your doc for doing the smart thing for YOU. Many people do fine with home infusions and some can even manage to do them on their own. As you say - it isn't for everyone. As often as everything goes right there is always that time it doesn't. I had home infusions of IVSM for five days. Actually, make that four. The home infusion company required the first dose be given at the hospital or an infusion center since I had never received IV dosing before.

Does anyone have type 1 diabetes and notice that MS affects their blood sugars? For example has it med it harder for you to control, or does it start to go crazy before or during a flare? I am trying to see if maybe there is a pattern... If you feel that it does affect your sugars if you don't mind sharing how it does I would really appreciate it!

Your doctor is uninformed and irresponsible to be allowing your blood sugar to go so high without advising you to do anything. As Zoelula said, it is your health. It is up to you. Get yourself educated and get it under control. Else there will be consequences. This is the plain and ugly, but necessary truth!

It really depends if u need insulin or pills, if you cant control your blood sugar then you take pills if your blood sugar is not high. But if normally your fasting numbers are high then thats why they put you on insulin. I have a coworker that went straight to insulin and shes a diabetic now but her numbers were crazy high like in the 500 when she did the glucose test. The doc just prob know that pills wont help you.
