Steroids keep away from if possible They put your sugars all over the place
It would make sense if long term steroid use resulted in sustained high blood sugar which causes the damage to the nerves
Whether it's because of diabetes or some pharmaceutical reason the result would be the same, however the non-diabetic wouldn't additionally be dealing with insulin resistance and production problems so they would (naturally) better manage the high blood sugars needed to fuel the steroids, reducing but not eliminating their risk of developing neuropathy
Based on the provided search results, there isn't specific information about steroids causing neuropathy. However, the main causes of diabetic neuropathy include:
- Elevated blood sugar levels over long periods
- High triglyceride and cholesterol levels
- Being overweight or obese

My system was broken in 2017 when I got a bad dose of Pneumonia Cop which filled my lungs and airways with inflammation and I was diagnosed in the hospital after they ruled out other possible causes and they think lI may have inhaled a mould spore after a very long hot and humid summer and I had to take Strong Steroids Prednisone double dose initially and I was also on Opioids and my blood sugar levels were sky high so was my blood pressure level. It took me from April to December to finally get all the inflammation out
I’m feeling well nowadays I keep reasonably fit by walking around 3 or more kilometres here in Maroochydore on the Pacific Ocean East coast of Australia most days and eating healthy food
My blood sugar is in a safe level and I’m not taking any medication for it
