Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM

I saw your investigations. Your fasting blood sugar levels is raised which means your having Diabetes.Cholesterol is slightly raised. triglycerides are raised very much besides slight increase in liver enzymes. Abnormality in these test could be due to fatty liver.

Foracort is a steroid and it can cause increase in all the above parameters. Life style modification which means healthy diet and exercise can help you to bring these value towards normal I would suggest you to consult a physician who may examine you and reassess the need for continuation of foracort, besides evaluating you for fatty liver and treating you Diabetes.

Hope this answers your question.

Take care.
