Predicting and tracking steroid-related diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how to predict and monitor diabetes caused by steroid medications. It may help if you are about to start taking steroids for a medical condition and do not have diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have never been diagnosed with diabetes or taken diabetes medications.
- You are about to start taking steroid pills or injections for a medical condition (not replacement therapy).
- You have not had steroid treatment in the last 6 months.

This trial tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of diabetes medication) can safely and effectively treat high blood sugar caused by long-term steroid use. It may help people with type 2 diabetes or steroid-induced diabetes who take oral steroids for conditions like asthma, arthritis, or kidney disease.
This study tests whether a GLP-1 medication (a type of drug that helps control blood sugar) can prevent diabetes caused by steroid treatments. It is for people who have prediabetes or mild diabetes and are about to receive a short course of steroids.
This trial checks whether people who take steroid medicines for more than 3 months are developing early diabetes, using blood tests before and around starting treatment. It may help catch diabetes sooner if it’s starting to develop, even in people who didn’t have diabetes yet.
This trial looks at how steroids affect blood sugar in people with certain kidney diseases. If you are starting steroid treatment, this study may help understand and manage the risk of developing diabetes.
This study measures blood levels of high-dose steroid medicines (prednisolone or related steroids) to understand how the body processes them in different real-life situations. It may help improve how steroids are dosed and monitored for people needing short-term or longer-term anti-inflammatory treatment.
This study looks at how a steroid medication (dexamethasone) affects blood sugar levels during and after surgery. Researchers will use a continuous glucose monitor to track your blood sugar safely and understand how to better manage it in the operating room.
