The rise in sugar initially could be purely due to steroid use. You can wait for 3 months and get hba1c test done again. Meanwhile, you can check Fasting and post meal sugar every month. It's unlikely to be diabetes but still to be sure, follow up on the tests. You can consult me on practo if the further reports are still derranged or if you have any other concerns.

You might have. Difficult to say for certain as you definitely had steroid induced high sugar.
The hba1c is suggestive of diabetes but it’s done immediately after steroid course.
