Five days into a prednisone taper for an asthma flare, my appetite flipped from forgetting lunch to standing in the pantry. I logged it: maybe +500 kcal/day, morning fasting glucose up 12–18 mg/dL, scale +1.8 lb, probably water.
For me, the GLP-1 didn’t stop working; the steroid signal just outshouted it. I kept protein high, walked when my lungs allowed, and refused to chase the daily number.
Once the taper ended, appetite normalized in about a week and my trend line resumed its old slope. Anyone else keep a glucose/symptom log through a steroid course, or do you just ride it out and resume tracking after?
