First seen Jan 29, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study aims to find the most effective way to screen for diabetes in people who take glucocorticoids (steroids) for more than three months. Steroids can raise blood sugar and cause diabetes, but current screening methods vary. Researchers will compare three tests—fasting blood sugar, blood sugar after a sugary drink, and a long-term blood sugar marker—in 75 non-diabetic adults to see which catches diabetes earliest.
