Brief Answer:
High sugar level is due to wysolone tablet

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
You have been given tablet wysolone which contains prednisolone. It is a steroid and it is responsible for your raised sugar levels.
Wysolone has a tendency to raise your blood sugar levels and cause hypertension especially if the person is already having diabetes and hypertension.
You can consult your doctor and ask her to reduce the dose or change the wysolone medicine if possible.
Rest of the medicines are fine and usually do not lead to any side effects.
