The Effects of Medium-to-Low Dose Glucocorticoids on Glucose Profiles in Patients with Interstitial Pneumonia with Autoimmune Features (IPAF) Evaluated by Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS): An Observational Study
Abstract:Background: Few studies focused on the effects of medium-to-low dose glucocorticoids on glucose profiles and glucose metabolism in patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF). Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) can provide more detailed glucose features than fingertip blood samplings.Methods: This was a observational study in a teaching hospital. Outpatients with IPAF on 15mg prednisone per day for at least 3 months were recruited to receive CGMS and blood tests. The primary d… Show more
