The use of steroids by the medico profession

I wrote an article but some ways it got erased. There was an article about Diabetes growing and the blame is on gaining weight. Which is true as the overweight people are there to see. I learned a thing the other day and is the use Steroids increases the blood sugar. The use of Steroids may be a faster way ot healing say Heart trouble and Pneumonia. If the after effects are maybe worse (like the loss of legs due to the effects of Diabetes) and consequently the introduction of the Steroids causes Diabetes. Years ago the Medico Professions used Sulfa drugs and the after effects was not there. Maybe it took longer to get over the health problem but the person was healthier than they are by using Steroids. The use of Steroids is dangerous not only for the Sick person but the athletes that use it to get stronger. As a person sits in a wheel chair with the loss of legs then the pressure on the heart also increases. I was visiting a care home and the gentleman died of heart fairlure due to the heavy gain of weight and was unable to excerise to keep his weight down. Sitting in a wheel chair does not solve the weight trougle. So what is the answer - does the use of new drugs with its side effects better than maybe the use of old methods to cure people even though it might take longer to get over the problem and the person might have to lay in bed longer. In caes of child birth- I understand the medico professions tells the person to stay in bed . I am starting to wander so better close.
