Suggest Solution For High Blood Sugar
I had cortisone shots in both shoulders today around 10 am. My blood sugars run around 140-160. I do not take diabetic meds for my diabetes. Tonight my blood sugar is 423. What should I do or will this lower itself by morning. I have had these shots in previous years and my blood sugar would go into the 200 s.

Hello,
Good day.
The fastest way to reduce this level of blood glucose is by using Insulin. You may have to go to a hospital tonight for a dose and tomorrow you could go and meet a GP who will re evaluate your situation and start on medications if needed. Why did u take steroid shots to your shoulders? IS it for frozen shoulder? If so, you need to control your blood glucose more strictly.
