Mucormycosis worry

2021-05-20 20:04:56
I was admitted in hospital from 9-16 April. Sugar before admission: 100 Steroid dose: 120mg methylpred per day During treatment sugar rose to 230fbs sometimes. Discharge medication: 24mg deflazacort per day from 16-30 April. Current blood sugar: 100fbs/135ppbs Today is 35th day from discharge. Do I have the risk of catching mucormycosis?

Risk will depends on lot of factors put together. Sugar alone does not decide that. Nor does dose of steroid.
