Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Systemic injection of Diprofos should be avoided as sugar control will be lost on steroid therapy.
2. If it is for arthritis, it will be localized injection and this would not affect blood sugar control.
3. Do not worry. Regularly monitor her blood pressure and sugar control. Also water based exercises will be helpful. Weight reduction and diet control of carbohydrates and salt is necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
