Yes: You are concerned about the effect of steroids on your diabetes. Please call your treating physician if you are not sure, because i don't want to mislead you based on a little information. From my understanding, the local steroids administered in using a nasal steroid spray stay mostly in the nasal area, and shouldn't have a major effect on your diabetes. Best bet is to consult with your doctor.

Yes: The systemic absorption is minimal and should not affect blood glucose.
