Hi manjunatha,
Omnacortil is a corticosteroid. Looking at the details provided, if the cause of reduced platelet count is immune mediated due to antibody production (immune thrombocytopenic purpura), then it will be helpful.
Corticosteroid are known to increase sugar level and dose needs to be changed.
If required, insulin can be started or diet control can be tried.
If the platelet count is not improving, other cause related to bone marrow needs to be identified.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
