Learn how to manage the serious side effects of prednisone, especially its impact on blood sugar, cholesterol, weight gain, and heart disease. This video breaks down insights from a Harvard Medical School seminar led by Professor Naomi Patel, focusing on research-based strategies to reduce health risks associated with prednisone use. Key topics include increased risks of diabetes and cardiovascular issues, how diet and exercise can make a difference, and when medications like statins or GLP-1 agonists might be necessary. Practical tools like the ASCVD risk calculator are also explained to help guide treatment decisions.

Key Takeaways:
1. Increased Health Risks: Prednisone significantly raises the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease—by up to 280% at higher doses. Even low doses can increase heart disease risk by 50%.
2. Weight Gain Concerns: Over half of long-term users experience weight gain. Effective strategies include a low glycemic diet, regular physical activity, and dietary counseling.
3. Cardiovascular Risk Management: Use the ASCVD risk calculator to evaluate heart disease risk. Statins may be recommended for those with a 10% or greater risk.
4. Role of Exercise and Diet: Staying active, especially through walking, helps prevent weight gain and bone loss. Nutritional adjustments play a critical role in managing side effects.
5. Medical Interventions: Weight loss medications like GLP-1 agonists may be considered under a doctor’s guidance to help with prednisone-induced weight gain.
