Mucormycosis worry
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?

Kindly keep a watchout for symptoms of mucor ... It's very unlikely in a healthy individual just for safety sake keep a lookout but don't panic

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