Diabetes and Cortisona ... bad mixture!

Hello, I don't know if someone else has happened to someone,
Three days ago they had to infiltrate cortisone due to a joint problem.
Since the second day, I do not get my glycemia falling from 230 or 240 mg/dl.
And at night it is worse, reaching 400 mg/dl.However, approximately every 3 hours, I administer quickly insulin to correct it, since, otherwise, it reaches 450 mg/dl.
So every 2 or 3 hours I inject extra units of insulin and, with it, I get it at least not to shoot too much, although it costs to decrease a little.
Even so, I spend the whole night with levels above 250 mg/dl and wake up approximately 3 hours to make a correction.
Anyway, I suppose that after a few days he will return to his usual level.
P.S.Nobody said this would be easy, right?

Get off the slow one, if you have to correct so often quickly.
When you spend the effect of the cortisone, you can return to your usual insulin values.
These situations are for me the most difficult to manage because you have to go up "blind" units.And then lower them and pray to Santa Rita to get it

They have infiltrated me twice a finger, I imagine that being a small joint, the dose would also be small because I did not notice that it would affect me anything.
