Dear friend, greetings from HCM. Yes as you rightly pointed out the steroid, infection and all the stress has aggravated her sugar , now first thing is to contral the infection and later get all the investigation s done , as now it is very alarming sugar levels even with all treatment.

As the infection and stress subsides later the control will be always better. Give her more of millets, oats, sprouts, vegetables and fruits. Give her more proteins and avoid carbohydrates. Let her exercise regularly, at least walk , meditate and practice yoga .
