I have been an insulin dependent diabetic for 20 years. I had my first ever cortison injection for a worn out knee. For 5 days after the injection my blood sugar levels ran between 450 and 600. No matter how much fast acting insulin I took, it would not go down.
Standard 2-day dexamethasone suppression test: Serum cortisol level and/or 24-hour urinary free cortisol is measured as a baseline, and then dexamethasone 2 mg orally is taken every 6 hours for 48 hours; urine for free cortisol is collected during the test and serum cortisol is checked 6 hours after the last dose.he 24-hour urine free cortisol test may be used during the second day of the standard test as an end point; however, data suggest that serum cortisol has higher diagnostic accuracy and conducting both tests is not recommended.
