Given that both these diseases can cause chronic inflammation in your body, it comes as no surprise that ineffective treatment of psoriasis can lead to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. This is largely due to the fact that both diseases are affected by bad lifestyle habits such as smoking cigarettes, consuming excessive alcohol, and practicing an unhealthy diet.
Interestingly, there are medicines which can be prescribed by a doctor to help you keep your diabetes in check, while easing your symptoms of psoriasis. This is possible because it slows down your immune system, which in turn is able to ease inflammation throughout your body. On the other hand, there are certain medicines used to treat psoriasis which can raise your blood sugar levels and make diabetes much harder to control. These medications include steroids and cyclosporine, which are used to reduce inflammation.
Cancer
Not managing psoriasis effectively has also been proven to increase your risk of certain types of cancer, although it is still unclear why. However, the common link between both diseases appears to be inflammation. In fact, a research review of 37 studies and articles has suggested that psoriasis may increase your risk of developing cancers of the digestive tract, liver, respiratory tract, pancreas, and urinary tract.
