Hello, Steroids can cause rise in blood sugar. However nothing much to worry and it will return to normal by itself. Prehensile is effective for temporal arthritis. Nothing much to worry, and your treatment is in the right track.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
