Thank-you for the prompt response and information. T2 is a roller coaster, sarcoidosis is a cheap thrill, put them together and WOW! Keeps life exciting! 😎
Probably not a great deal except maybe talking to your Doctor about switching your Basil to a Mixed Insulin if you are still seeing some highs
The Prednisone will absolutely jack your blood sugar - it needs the sugar to do it's job so "shouts really load" until the Liver opens the tap and lets the sugar flow - nothing you can do about that unless you can treat your CV condition with a "non-steriod"
However, that being the more immediately important condition to treat, the Diabetes will simply have to be managed as best as possible. A mixed insulin may be part of the solution
