Bcos of covid infection stress as well as bcos of steroid usage sugar levels were increased.
It could be stress hyperglycaemia versus prior undetected diabetes .
Go for HbA1C ,if it's level is increased then treatment has to be continued even if steroids stopped.
Daily life won't be effected even if diabetes diagnosed if sugars were maintained in optimal range.
