<s>[INST] Is asthma related to other chronic diseases, such as rheumatism and diabetes? [/INST] Chronic rheumatism can affect the lungs, but not in the form of asthma. Long-term treatment with corticosteroid tablets (e.g. for asthma) can provoke diabetes, but inhaled corticosteroids taken directly into the lungs have not been shown to have this effect. Many people with asthma can experience symptoms from the nose such as rhinitis and some also suffer from polyposis. Otherwise, there is no connection between asthma and other chronic diseases.
