Do Cortisone Shots Elevate The Blood Sugar Levels?
I had cortisone shots on both knees then I had a blood test done right after that at the doctors office would my blood work show elevated sugar levels? Reason being I got my blood work test back and it shows that I am pre-diabetic but all other tests were normal

Dear Patient,
yes the cortisone shots can elevate the blood sugar levels, so i recommend repeating the test another time to make sure the result about being pre-diabetic is valid.
Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
