Article Synopsis
- As medical care evolves, the management of patients with multiple co-existing health conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and diabetes mellitus (DM), becomes increasingly complex.
- IBD, primarily consisting of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's disease, requires long-term treatment and can affect blood sugar control, necessitating careful consideration of various medications like aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, thiopurines, and biologic agents.
- Evidence suggests certain IBD medications impact diabetes management, and switching to less impactful drugs or using local corticosteroids may help maintain better glycemic control in diabetic patients with IBD.
