Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease and depending of clinical manifestation and stage of disease different kind of therapy is used. In severe cases, it can be treated with drug called corticosteroids. Long-term use of this category of drugs can cause diabetes, which have to be treated with drugs usually using for other kinds of diabetes.
