Diabetics are at twofold higher risk of developing sepsis. A condition the article says claims one in five worldwide.
Knowing that type two diabetics have dysregulated glucose tolerance from unregulated cortisol, and paralleling this with the side effects of both diabetes and sepsis with glucocorticoids as known side effects, the study adds more support for Dr Peats thoughts on these conditions.But over 30 days is generally considered long-term steroid use. Most often, oral corticosteroids are prescribed for roughly 1 to 2 weeks — and only for very severe symptoms. But for certain chronic health conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, corticosteroids may be necessary for months or even years.
Although one study found that even short-term use of moderate corticosteroid doses may slightly increase the risk for serious complications — like bone fractures, blood clots, and sepsis. Long-term use of corticosteroids can cause an even wider range of side effects, even at lower doses.
