Itp is the immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Your immune reactions destroyed platelet so you have low platelet count. So you need immunosuppressive drugs like steroids. It will suppress your immunity vand platelet count will increase it cause high sugar as side effects. But risk benifit ratiobis in favour of taking steroids. You should continue steroids as per requirements
