Without knowing doses, relevant patient data (I.e. your medical history) and bearing in mind that I am wildly unqualified. Because any kind of corticosteroid treatment reduces the effectiveness of insulin treatment in diabetics (and can induce diabetes in non diabetics) it is usually recommended that diabetics on any kind of corticosteroid treatment (Like cortisone) both do more frequent blood tests and also switch to a regimen with more focus on a bolus dose (I.e. insulin taken associated with meals, because base insulin is less effective) and possibly a higher base dose as necessary (Allthough that’s secondary since as mentioned base insulin is less effective on corticosteroids)
Edit: After two weeks the effect from a basic cream should be wearing off though. We’re generally told that after a week you should be transferring back to normal treatment, and that’s assuming higher doses.
If your endocrinologist disagrees bear in mind that they’re a certified expert with access to all relevant data and I’m regurgitating a textbook
It’s kinda funny seeing the US do post-soviet reduction of state capacity to itself for literally no reason.
