Summary
This study compares three common blood tests—fasting blood sugar, sugar load test, and HbA1c—to see which one is best at detecting diabetes caused by long-term steroid use. Researchers will enroll 75 non-diabetic adults who need steroids for more than three months. The goal is to improve early detection and care for this common side effect.
