About steroid induced diabetes
My uncle uses the steroid methylprednisolone for 10 days in order like 16 mg 3 times a day for 3 days then 8 mg 3 times a day for 3 days and then 4 mg 3 times a day for 3 days for treatment of covid..Before the treatment he doesn't have any diabetes..During the treatment he had raised levels of glucose in blood... Doctors says it is due to steroids after some days of stopping of steroids it became normal...is that correct? Steroids can cause diabetes..After stopping steroids it became normal...How many days it will take to became normal..?
