Prednisone is a steroid, those elevate BG. Albuteral has shown to raise sugars especially in women over 60 and Azrithromycin (Z-Pack) also can raise sugars. You might bring this up to your primary care doc and if you have an endocrinologist check with them.

If you have a relationship with a pharmacist see if there are any substitutes that you could suggest your doc prescribe. It is amazing to me that M.D.s are allowed to prescribe medication when the majority of their drug education is ojt from drug sales people. Pharmacist have to study drugs for years before they can dispense. I never say or write this, but "WTF!"

A disclaimer, I am not a doctor or pharmacist. My wife worked as a technician in a hospital pharmacy and we just have a high regard for pharmacists.
