Should go back to normal after you're off it if it really is from Uceris (that is not common with Uceris but is with prednisone).

Normal and expected to have your blood sugar spike on steroids like Uceris. They're known as glucocorticoids due to their powerful affect on blood sugar. So do ignore your blood sugar numbers until after stopping Uceris. No you're not going to get diabetes over a short, multi-month course of Uceris.

Long term usage with Uceris, yes you can get type ii diabetes after a year or more on Uceris.
