I did not have gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy when I was not taking steroids.
Steroids can cause insulin resistance .
However, this is usually associated with higher doses and systemic levels such as seen with oral prednisone. In theory, inhaled steroids do not result in a high blood concentration. Therefore, this should not contribute significantly to the gestational diabetes . A consultation with your asthma doctor is reasonable, because it would be good to have you on as few medications as possible. Comments and Feedback .
