For those who become increased in thirst and urinating after taking Prednisone, you might want to check for your sugar level in your urine or blood. I was recently on Prednisone for 2 days with 60 mg per day (3 pills of 20 mg) and I started to have severe lower backpain. I went back to see my doctor and found out that my sugar (or glucose) level was high in my urine (and the sugar level was same to that of a person with diabeties) and I stopped the medicine right away. I have been monitoring my sugar level for 5 days now and it is still high now especially 1 hour after meal (i.e >200 whereas a normal sugar level should ~ 80-110). As some of you, I had anxiety, sleepless, swollen face after taking the medicine for 4 days but now these have stopped. However, the high sugar level still remains the problem of concern. Do any of you know whether the high sugar level is temperoray problem AND how long the sugar level will come back to normal (being thirsty, blurred vision or sensitive to light can be the results of high sugar level). Please advise.
