Sorry for being late to reply but ditto to what the others say, we are all here to support each other. I’m so sorry you are having a rough time of it not just with diabetes and pain, etc., but now caring for your father and seeing him having difficulties. Like @RachelMaraii, I have no experience caring for a loved one who is older, but your post was a beautiful, well written tribute to your father. I could visualize all the warmth and love you felt from your father and he obviously for you, taking his girls to all the wonderful spots NYC has to offer! ---

Information that is solid gold, of it’s own accord. > Does anyone else on FUD take nasal sprays with steroids in them? I would love to hear about your experiences. Thank you in advance. I recently was using flonase, which is a steroidal nasal spray (somehere use it on their skin prior to applying a sensor or other device). That was a question that I raised when told to use it (I’d come down with RSA); how doe sit impact diabetes. I was told the effect would be negligible, as it is not systemic and acts locally. The impact, as best I could tell was relatively minimal, but being sick, it’s hard to isolate the medication from other influences that might be causing highs or lows. ---

Flonase and prednisone eye drops have not. The one time I got a corticosteroid injection in a knee I had high insulin resistance for around 14 days. Some people with T1DM and normal insulin sensitivity may not see as much of an effect. ---

I have had many epidurals since my back surgery. I have had terrible insulin resistance for about 5 days afterwards, beginning the evening after the injections. I ve had to raise my basals up to over 200% just to keep my Bgs under 200. Its a horror show, but it passes. [Previous page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/where-ive-been-this-year/15428.md?page=1)
