In less than a week, people became diabetic 2.6X in that week more often than people who were not given steroids for their hospital visits.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY MORONIC HEADLINE because when the sheeple hear the word "steroids," they automatically think of anabolic-androgenic steroids, the athletic performance-enhancing drug, and that's NOT what this study is about.

It's about corticosteroids, which ARE NOT commonly referred to as "steroids," they're commonly referred to as "cortisone."

Corticosteroids bear no relationship to the stuff the gym rats use to get "pumped up."

Corticosteroids are what gives people like Jerry Lewis (who was being treated for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) the infamous "chipmunk cheeks." It makes you put on weight so it shouldn't be a surprise it also has a diabetes connection.

This is old news...I read about the diabetes angle many yrs ago and iirc, THAT study said even one use of these steroids can harm you in regard to development of diabetes.

Scramblin' Fran Tarkenton on SNL in 1977:

Steroids. Breakfast of Champions. Not for treating your arthritis.

What a coinkydink! You know what else can give you diabetes...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus following SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination

A case of Graves' disease and type 1 diabetes mellitus following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

Anti-GAD antibody-positive fulminant type 1 diabetes developed following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

Note the dates of the papers.

Old news. Our cat has been on steroids for 10 years, and the vet has ALWAYS warned us that diabetes easily could be in her future because of it.
