Guest guest Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Saturday night one week ago I went to the ER as my nebs were not cutting into an attack. Early Sunday the doc told me he recommended inpatient...my first admit for asthma. As they were doing some blood work the doc came in and asked how long I'd been diabetic. SURPRISE! Between the untreatted disease and the steroids my sugars peaked at 550. Now down to the mid/upper 100's. At a follow up with my doc on Friday he asked if the pulmo who gives me the Xolair has any other tricks up his sleeve. He questions the efficacy of the Xolair at this point. I went more than 6 months almost symptom free. Now i am back in the ER about every 3 months or so with symptoms increasing. 2 questions: 1. Can/Does Xolair stop being as effective and need an increase in the amount needed? I am wondering if I can develop a tolerance to the med. 2. OT: Any other diabetics here? How do you balance Prednisone and what it does to blood sugars? Thanks in advance. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
