[acb-diabetics] being on steroids and needing insulin?

[barbieann519]

my dad has been given steroids while in hospital for respiratory ails and 
his sugar was apparently elevated enough that they gave him insulin. is he 
in any danger of having the common sugar lows of insulin dependent 
diabetics, and is sugar lowering meds. usually paired with steroids for 
patients needing steroids?
