Multi-Patient Analysis of Steroid-Induced Hyperglycemia in Diabetic Patients Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring

This study provides one of the most detailed CGM characterizations of SIH, demonstrating steroid-specific and demographic-modified responses. Dexamethasone displayed a reproducible excursion phase, methylprednisolone a delayed pattern, and triamcinolone inconsistent variability. These findings highlight the utility of CGM for identifying temporal SIH features, with the first 48 to 72 hours yielding clinically reliable monitoring window.
