Abstract:
It has become a prominent clinical problem that diabetes was induced by early long-term use of large-dose glucocorticoid for treating severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which suggesting that indication and contraindication of glucocorticoid therapy should be followed strictly. Principles of treating the secondary diabetes induced by glucocorticoid are similar to that used in type 2 diabetes, however, the feature of severe afternoon hyperglycemia combined with fasting hypoglycemia should be taken into account in the protocol design.
