While I am not sure about the liver enzymes, treating with prednisone
will definitely bring up the blood glucose levels. Pred can also be
hard on the liver, though, and if he has liver problems, the pred
could make it worse. I am not a vet, though, so these are things you
need to discuss in depth with your vet.
