Q: Hypoglycemia And Steroid Injections
asked by: leelee0905 on July 13th, 2007

About 4 months ago, I developed a keloid scar due to a small surgical procedure. My dermatologist suggested using steroid shots to decrease the size and color of the scar. Every month I had been receiving a shot, and over the next few months I began feeling worse and worse. I had hypoglycemic symptoms (dizziness, fatigue, anxiety,heart palpitations,etc) every once in awhile, but as I continued to get the injections I noticed I began feeling worse, but when I ate the symptoms temporarily subsided. I cancelled my next injection and I have felt alot better, and almost all the symptoms are gone. Is there anyway that the steroids could have caused the hypoglycemia or could they atleast be related? I have read that steroids temporarily increase blood sugar but this does not make sense to me. I have also read that they can increase adrenaline in the body. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate an answer. Thanks

Sorry, I keep forgetting to respond to this. It's obvious that there is some connection, though I'm not sure how to explain it. The likely reason is that you're upsetting your hormone balance, which then leads to the glucose level dropping.
