Regarding sugar level
Hi Doctors,
I had no diabetes. I was tested positive on last month 14th and and tested negative on 31st.
Admitted due to pnueomonia for 2 days and steroids were given for 7days and budamate as well..both are stopped as doctor suggested.
After taking steroids my Rbs is 136
Ppbs is 298.
I don't know how did it go up to 298 or is there any technical problem with lab as rbs is on 136 but ppbs is 298.
Is there any possibility ?
Now stopped taking direct sugar and food that contains sugar.
If you can suggest some diet and lifestyle modification would be helpful.
Thanks.

Hi, your sugar levels may be high because of your treatment also, but to be sure, we have to treat it temporarily and follow up the sugar levels.
