Dear margaret,
Inspite of oral medications, your sugars are on quite higher side. Prednisolone could have made them worse (but not necessarily). The symptoms you are experiencing are osmotic symptoms due to high sugars. In my opinion, you need Insulin along with the tablets. Meet your doctor for the same.
