Both conditions can cause similar symptoms. That can make it difficult to figure out if something is the MS or the diabetes. Also the steroids used to treat MS can raise your blood sugar.

Thank you. I always refuse steroids when I’ve been sick. It’s very hard to keep my sugar under control. I have another MRI Monday for my spine even though my first MRI detected lesions on the base of my brain stem. Do you know if there are other alternatives to steroids?
