Steroid-induced diabetes
From W8MD weight loss and sleep centers
Steroid-induced diabetes is a type of diabetes that occurs as a result of taking high doses of corticosteroids, which are often prescribed to reduce inflammation and swelling. Steroid-induced diabetes can be a temporary or long-term condition, depending on the individual and the cause of steroid use. Treatment for steroid-induced diabetes typically involves managing blood sugar levels through diet and exercise, as well as medication if necessary. It is important for individuals taking corticosteroids to work with a healthcare provider to monitor blood sugar levels and manage diabetes symptoms as needed.
