Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
I understand your concern.
Steroids are know to cause side effects including variations in glucose metabolism but only when used for long period.
So, please send details regarding your medications, problem you had before and for how long are you taking those medications for further suggestions.
All the best.
