Objective: To evaluate the beneficial effect of steroid therapy in the treatment of diabetic patients with Bell's palsy (BP). 

                                
                              Methods: There
 were three patient groups in the present retrospective study. Group I 
consisted of diabetic patients with BP who were hospitalized for 
corticosteroid treatment, whereas Group II was composed of diabetic 
patients with BP who refused to receive steroid therapy after being 
informed about the adverse effects of the regimen. Thirty age- and 
sex-matched non-diabetic BP patients treated with steroid therapy on an 
outpatient basis constituted Group III. House-Brackmann (H-B) grades at 
onset and 12 months after facial paralysis, mean complete recovery time 
and the number of patients who demonstrated satisfactory recovery were 
compared between the groups.    

                                
                                Results: 
There was no statistically significant difference with regard to H-B 
grades, mean recovery time or number of patients with satisfactory 
recovery at onset and 12 months after facial paralysis among the study 
groups. 

                                
                            Conclusion: In 
diabetic patients with BP, the recovery of facial functions may be 
satisfactory without steroid therapy as long as the regulation of blood 
sugar and blood pressure levels are ensured with regular medical 
follow-up.
