Arthritis drug may mask diabetes, study warns
NCT ID NCT07416656
First seen Feb 24, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study looks at whether the arthritis drug sulfasalazine makes the standard diabetes blood test (HbA1c) unreliable. The drug can shorten red blood cell life, which may lower HbA1c levels and hide true blood sugar problems. Researchers will use continuous glucose monitors to get accurate readings in 75 adults with inflammatory arthritis who take sulfasalazine. The goal is to find out how many have undiagnosed diabetes or are getting falsely reassuring test results.
