Is it safe to give antenatal steroids to diabetic mothere?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but..,: If steroids are needed due to a high risk situation for preterm labor then steroids should be given. This can be problematic for diabetics as it is sure to raise the blood sugar. This will require careful monitoring by the physician.
