Steroid shots can lose their effect after a while. I would get a second opinion on what her condition is from a veterinary specialist (they have them for everything from veterinary ophthalmology to cardiology and allergy & asthma). The weakness and lethargy could be a withdrawal or dependency from the steroids, but her blood sugar could also be off. I am surprised your vet has not suggested a CBC (Complete Blood Count) to see if there are any additional problems she may be having. Good luck.
