Summary
a sample of 600 patients diagnosed as Knee osteoarthritis injected with 40 mg triamcinolone, recorded their morning fasting blood glucose levels for 7 days before injection used as the baseline blood glucose level, which was compared with FBS levels for 14 days after steroid injection. Our study compared the differences in blood glucose changes between HbA1c \>7% and HbA1c ≤7% groups and those between insulin and non-insulin treated groups.
