Hi There:

I'm sorry to hear that you haven't made it to the Dr's yet.
There are several reasons that a Person could have ketones
including a Very low-carb diet. I missed the line about you
having steroid-induced Diabetes and you were on Insulin.
That may be your answer right there.

Normally, a Person's blood glucose usually rises while using
Prednisone but especially for someone who has Diabetes.

Since you unfortunately had Diabetes during steroid treatment
that can mean you are bound to get it. In that case, considering
your symptoms, it is likely that you may have Diabetes. You
didn't say when the steroids were discontinued. Please do see
your Dr. this week.
