I think I may have developed diabetes because of the steroids. I saw the GP this morning because I was peeing all the time, I thought it must be a urine infection, I’m tired and my blood pressure is all over the place. I am drinking lots anyway because I thought I had a urine infection.

Sorry to hear that - do hope they can sort it out. That isn't a horrensously high BP so don't worry too much, it is high BP over long periods that causes problems. I've had to tinker a bit with my BP meds with various pred doses. But eventually they get it right!

Thanks, that's reassuring. I normally am 137ish over 74ish.

Is blood pressure medicine not allowed? His has been uncontrolled without it. If you are drinking lots of water perhaps you are peing all the time because of that. I had diabetes while pregnant but no peripheral neuropathy - just the usual swelling.
I hope the tests reveal nothing significant. Best of luck-

I already take blood pressure tablets and they usually control my BP very well, but being in uncharted territory, I am vary of upsetting what has worked until now.I already have peripheral neuropathy, It's not a new thing, it has just got worse over the last few days, may not even be connected, but a curious coincidence.. Thank you for your good wishes.
