Ugh.. I had been on it a little while back. One thing they failed to mention to me is to take a lot of calcium and vitamin d (they often come mixed together in pill form). Prednisone literally peels calcium off your body, so you want to be careful in that regard.
Also, try to keep to the lowest dose that still gives you a bit of comfort. Be very careful when tapering off of it as well (do not go from say 10 mg's to cold turkey for example)! When you're tapering I got 1mg pills so I slowly went 5mg for a few days down to 4, 3, 2, 1, off.
Other than that, try to drink lots of water and careful how much you eat. It's certainly not a drug to be taken lightly... best of luck
