Any Suggestion For A Diabetic Taking Prednisone For Sarcoidosis In Lungs Is Increasing Blood Sugar?

I am on Methotrexate and prednisone for Sarcoidosis in my lungs. I have been having severe cramping and wonder what to do about it. I also am on a diabetic pill, because the prednisone has raised my blood sugars! I know the other drug I was taking for diabeties was causing me to have cramps as well. Any suggestions?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if it is mandatory to take the prednisolone then the blood sugar level should be tightly maintained, then it wont be harmful any more, and if this is not mandatory then better to stop this medicine, take care and have nice day.
