A few years ago my doc gave me a course of prednisone for a bad outbreak of excema and it spiked my blood sugar up to 500. I'm guessing that individual reactions must vary quite a bit, because my doctor didn't really warn me about it, except to say it might raise my blood sugar "a little bit". Since then I've been leery of any of the cortisone family of drugs, unless they are used externally, like in a cream or ointment.
