[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1516043, member: 221545"] There is little conclusive evidence in medical survey or study to clarify. Some say that the impact of steroid inhalers (and steroid creams) on the blood sugar levels is minimal (but I would argue that minimal is still more than zero) where others disagree and some research indicates a significant risk a non-diabetic users developing diabetes. It does appear to be most likely that corticosteroids (eg. prednisolone) are the higher risk. There are non-steroidal inhalers. I do not know if there are steroid inhalers which do not use corticosteroids. I think holding onto the word "minimal" may be the best option available. [/QUOTE]
