It appears that some of you have had epidural treatment for spine
trouble.  Mine specifically is cervical spine.
How long -- in general -- does it take for the affects of the steroid
on the bg to calm down?
I'm not finding any artificial spikes, however, it does seem that the
insulin reaction to lowering the numbers is taking a lot longer to
kick in.

Thanks for your time.

Mine was lumbar, but found I had a rise for 2-3 days afterwards and
heavy IR for up to 5-6 days, then everything went back to normal for
me.

My wife's bgs went up 2 days.

Mine went up for 9 days to around 200-300 day and night, even with
triple doses + of insulin.

It appears to take more time to resolve in T1's

Had a shoulder injection just two weeks ago.  Noticed an increase
lasting two days before returning to more normal numbers for me.
