Brief Answer:
Injection Tricort associated with uncontrolled blood sugar levels.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

Though Steroids (Inj. Tricort contains Triamcinolone) are associated with uncontrolled blood sugar levels it is unusual to cause high blood sugar levels even after 1 month of last dose.

Other causes should be evaluated.

- Are you on any other medicines for frozen shoulder?

If no better to consult your diabetologist for detailed clinical evaluation and changes in anti-diabetic medicines.

Hope this helps you.
