NCT ID NCT06478186

First seen May 31, 2026

Summary

This study compares two steroid injections for knee osteoarthritis in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to see which one controls pain better while causing fewer blood sugar spikes. About 120 adults with diabetes and knee arthritis will receive either a long-acting or short-acting steroid, and their blood sugar will be monitored for 3 months. The goal is to find a safer option for managing knee pain in diabetics.
