| If you need your rescue inhaler more than two times a day, you need more controller meds.
Inhalers can definiately raise bs. Albuterol is a beta 2 agonist, it basically acts like adrenaline, which is what your body excretes when you have low bs to make your bs come back up. The long acting inhalers are steriods that can cause high bs as well. Luckily, inhalers aren't usually absorbed much systemically, which helps.
Since you need the inhalers, my best advice is to just keep correcting bgs. Maybe you will need larger corrections, or more Lantus till you get through this. |
