All I know is that Tresaderm is a steroid medication and steroids can cause diabetes in some cats. If you're interested we can help you with your diabetic cat.

The good news is once the steroids are stopped many cats are able to go into diabetic remission.

The specific steroid used in Tresaderm (dexamethasone neomycin sulfate) is very potent and does tend to raise BG a lot. There are similar drops that use a less potent steroid, that is raises BG a lot less. My vet prescribed Surolan which contains prednisolone acetate.
