Why drugs such as steroids and diuretics are contraindicated to diabetes melitus?
One of the side effects of steroids is an increase in blood glucose levels. Steroids increase insulin resistance, causing your insulin (your own or injected insulin) to work less effectively in the body. This means that glucose levels build up in the blood. Also, steroids can trigger your liver to release extra glucose, again, leading to high blood glucose levels. High glucose levels can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, a potentially fatal condition. If your doctor prescribes you steroids, your blood glucose levels will have to be closely monitored.
