Corticosteroids for COVID-19 & Hyperglycemia

Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, has become common for the treatment of COVID-19. Corticosteroids can cause hyperglycemia in patients with and without diabetes. Corticosteroid-induced hyperglycemia can be challenging but necessary to treat for the body to heal properly and to prevent further complications. A glycemic management team like GlyCare can help control blood glucose levels for these patients.
