  3. Anti-diabetic effects

The correct answer is: Anti-inflammatory actions

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are naturally produced in the body. They play a crucial role in regulating immune responses, metabolism, and various other processes in the body. When prescribed for medical conditions, corticosteroids are primarily used for their anti-inflammatory properties. This means they help to reduce inflammation and swelling in the body, making them effective for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, respiratory issues, and eye conditions. They do not have antibiotic or analgesic effects, meaning they do not fight infections or provide pain relief. They also do not have anti-diabetic effects, as this is a separate class of medication used for managing diabetes.
