It's highly discouraged to use medicine to increase muscle mass. You feel better initially but these medicine have serious side effects in long term. Please don't use them.

Hello Shahid, as you are a diabetic you should not put on weight and should stay in ideal weight and avoid obesity , Only take calories required under careful monitoring of blood glucose. Steroids are definitely harmful for diabetes
