Seema ji, Thanks for the query. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid, which has a diabetogenic property, meaning it does cause in increase of blood glucose and can lead to diabetes. You will have to check fasting, PP glucose as well as HbA1c% and if necessary start antidiabetic treatment with appropriate drugs. Thanks.
