Perhaps this should be in the diabetes tips, but here it is. I’ve been on immunotherapy for nearly a year and developed the classic itchy rash. It’s the most annoying side effect but the least dangerous. Anyway it’s be… --- ## [Corticosteroids and the liver](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/corticosteroids-and-the-liver/15310)

I hope to be off of prednisone soon. It turns out that I developed a very rare autoimmune disease from the immunotherapy, Bullous pemphigoid.

Date: 11/10/2023 This is not to focus on the cancer (bladder) that I have, but on how chemotherapy laced with a steroid will affect BG management. I am type 2 on a Tandem pump, loving C-IQ.

I’m type 2 and steroids really jack resistance to insulin in me. I think that steroids will be added to ease the problems that come with chemo.

I had gum graft surgery on Wednesday and have had two days of my pump looking like this. Cause A: oral steroid taper for 6 days, finished day 3 today (done with most of the pills).

So I got a back procedure done last week with included cortisone and lidocaine and now my sugars spike sky high whenever I eat.
