30. Same thing happened to me about a year ago, but it was bronchitis not asthma

They were pumping me full of IV steroids. They started giving me insulin but it wasn't dropping my BS. The nurse tells me that my blood sugar is awfully high. I told her "what do you expect? They are pumping me full of IV steroids". If its a choice between being able to breathe and raising your blood sugar, they will treat the breathing first, then go after the blood sugar.
