Will Dexamethasone cause insulin resistance? I'm taking this tablets for skin treatment. Is it advisable to continue this tablet when the sugar levels are higher (pre-diabetes ranges)?

Dexamethasone can definitely raise your blood sugar levels but if a skin specialist has advised it to you, it might well be necessary to take it. You should monitor sugar levels and start antidiabetic medicines if needed.
