Main Article Content

Abstract

Objectives: To describe the blood glucose status in type 2 diabetes patients with knee osteoarthritis after intra-articular corticosteroid injection and to evaluate some factors related to the changes in blood glucose in the study population. Methods: A longitudinal prospective study was conducted on 31 diabetes patients who were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. Results: There were changes in blood glucose in  day 1 post-injection. Approximately 10% of patients experienced clinically relevant hyperglycemia. The degree of glucose variation correlated positively with the number of symptomatic complaints and physical signs, suggesting stress-related hormonal responses may exacerbate glucose instability. Conlusions: Intra-Articular Steroid Injections causes increasing in blood glucose in 1st day after injection.
