I had surgery yesterday and was prescribed MethylPREDNIsolone 4mg by the surgeon. It is a tapered dose which is supposed to start with 7 pills today, 6 tomorrow, then 4-3-2-1.
I am a Type 1 diabetic who uses insulin pump therapy. I am slightly (very) nervous about using steroids.
What can I expect? I usually check my blood glucose 6-8 times per day.
How long will the effect on glucose last? Will the effects stop the day I disco the use of the steroids or will I continue to see an increase in blood glucose levels post-use?
Any help, attack plans, or experience would help me tremendously.
