I've had too many to count. My blood sugars remained high/all over the place for at least a few day's, sometimes up to a week. Just make sure you're checking your blood sugar regularly and it should level out. If it's not back to normal in a week, I would call the doctor to make sure there isn't something else going on.

I don't know if it's just my body, diabetes, or what the deal is, but I've found that 9 out of 10 times the steroid shot is a waste of time and has no effect on what it's trying to help. I hope you find some relief and good luck with the blood sugars.

My doc made me do the shot for the first trigger finger. I opted for a second shot to delay surgery since I had changed jobs and was waiting for new insurance to kick in. After that he left it up to me as to how I wanted to proceed. After that second shot I told him that if he came near me with that needle, we were going to have bigger issues than my trigger finger. He learned not to ask me again after that and we've gone straight to surgery every other time.

I've been a diabetic for 25 years and have no issues with needles, shots, and all that good stuff. The minute you put that steroid shot in the room with me, it's not going to end well for one of us. I can't handle those shots for anything. I honestly feel that they should classify them as cruel and unusual punishment.

I just finished steroid eye drops for swelling of my cornea from a fall & the drops are absorbed just like an injection apparently. My blood sugars stayed in the 200's until the day after the drops were finished. As the dose decreased from 3 to 2 to 1 drop a day my sugars gradually started lowering.
