Diabetologist 's  Response
If any of my patient has reaction to both antihistamines and hydrocort, I would to an Immunologist for complete evaluation of the allergens. They might suggest a procedure called desensitisation where the body is exposed to very small amounts of allergen in the beginning and the quantity is increased slowly over time so that reaction to allergen is halted.
