Blood suger symptoms and conditions

I was diagnosed with diabetes last July. I just started to see a new doctor and she put me on Lisinopril. After a week and a half taking Lisinopril, I started to get most of the side effects that everyone had posted plus two more. My left forearm and hand started to go numb, but in a tingly numbness, like it had fallen asleep or rested against something. The second side effect, my blood sugar for the past 4 months was starting to be at its best and the Lisinopril made me spike into the high 300 range. I just decided on myself to quit taking it about 4 days ago and seems everything is coming back to the state before I got put on the pill.

I have MS and was put on this medication for an episode I was having, severe vertigo. The veritgo would hit while driving on the freeway or at any other time of the day or night; therefore, the doctor felt the best action would be to take massive doses of Prednisone in hopes it would stop the vertigo. With all the side-effects I had from taking this drug it may have been better dealing with the vertigo!

I was NOT informed to check my blood sugars, I am a Type-2 diabetic, but was instructed to eat every 4 hours with each dose I took. I ended up in the emergency room with blood sugars over 600. My vision was effected to the point I didn't need my prescription lenses to see. I had insomnia. Couldn't stop drinking water, nor going to the bathroom (not sure if that was blood suger related, the drug, or both). I was delusional (and not normally so). I had the acid/reflux so bad that it was difficult to swallow food every 4 hours which lead to early tappering off the drug. I developed acne over my face and chest. I ached everywhere and felt like I would die.

The positive experiences I got from my Prednisone was the bond I developed through sharing my side-effects with another person who had also had bad experiences with the drug. I could see the leaves on the trees yards away without my glasses. My sight returned to "normal" about 2 weeks to a month after the treatment ended. The vertigo stopped and the loss of the use in my right hand and arm (MS related) came back 100%. I appreciate the life I have been given and am greatful for my health.

I AM A DIABETIC AND RECEIVED 1 INJECTION ON 11-16
MY BLOOD SUGER SHOT UP TO 292 AND MY FACE BECAME RED, SWOLLEN, AND VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH WITH A GREAT AMOUNT OF PAIN. IT HAS BEEN 4 DAYS NOW AND MY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS ARE STILL HIGH BUT THE REDNESS AND SWELLING HAVE GOTTEN MUCH BETTER. MY INJECTION WAS FOR A PAINFUL KNEE WITH NO CARTILAGE REMAINING. THE KNEE FEELS BETTER BUT I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE THE INJECTION AGAIN, TO MUCH OF A CHANCE OF WORSE SEVERE BLOOD SJGAR LEVELS.
