Prednisone, a oral steroid will raise BGL.
I just started on an aggressive regimen for some back issues.
60 mg/day x 2 days
40 mg/day x 2 days
20 mg/day x 2 days
10 mg/day x 2 days.
I started yesterday AM on this regimen and my Fasting AM BGL this AM was 187. ( normal is around 100).
My question is, should I bump up my PM Lantus levels for the next week? My doc has been pretty much letting me titrate my dosage till I am at <100 in AM and , <140 2 hours post meals. I settled on a Lantus dose of 27 units at bedtime.
I'm thinking of raising it to 35 or higher to get me through the prednisone treatment.
Any thoughts?
