Yes, I'm dealing with the prednisone induced diabetes, too. My general doctor, an internist, is managing it and has not put me on medication, yet. I've been diagnosed for 5 months.
What I have done is I've gone to two diabetes clinics and they helped a lot. The nurses and dietitians have such good ideas and helps.
I'm to take my blood sugar two times a day - 2 hours after the noon meal and 2 hours after the evening meal. Am keeping records and the doctor will run another A1c this next visit.
One dietitian said to eat every 2 hours, the suggestion for me was to have 3 meals with 45 carbs each and 3 snacks with 15-20 carbs each (thus the every 2 hour deal.) She said when I eat fruit to couple it with a protein and I'm doing that - it's helpful. - apples and cheese, or an apple with peanut butter, etc.
It was hard to find a glucose chart. If you'd like, I can scan the one I found and send it to you off list.
One thing for sure, my numbers are much lower before taking the prednisone.
Learn everything you can learn about diabetes and hold out the hope that when the prednisone is lower, maybe the diabetes will go away. My doctor is holding out less hope for mine reversing, but I'm holding out a LOT of hope. Am on 10mg now (down from the original 60mg - decreasing over 10+ months.) Will remain on 10 for another month and my instructions are to lower only 1 mg a month and no more - holding if there are any changes.
The stress in our family is too much to try to do anything and since things are steady - I'm hanging at 10.
Portions, counting carbs, eating frequent small amounts, try to go to a diabetic clinic through your local hospital or wherever you can locate one, and know that this might go away. I'm hoping the best for you.
Watch, always, for a drop in blood sugar. We were told (at the clinic) to keep soft peppermints with us. A drop in blood sugar is dangerous. If you start to sweat, get weak, dizzy - take your blood sugar. Orange juice (6-8 oz) will do the same. Look up the symptoms for this, too.
