Question

I am a 54 year old with type 2 diabetes which has been well controlled since I was diagnosed. However, I have back problems and have received two epidural steroid injections. I am aware of the fact that my blood sugars would be elevated, but how long will the steroids continue to affect my blood sugars?

Answer

You'll have to ask your doctor about the anticipated duration of effect. See your doctor advises using steroids for more information.
