简要总结
The goal of this observational study is to explore the prevalence of hypercortisolism in a population with difficult to control type 2 diabetes despite receiving standard-of-care therapies. Additionally, the study will evaluate the correlation between salivary cortisol levels and glycemic control.
详细描述
Despite advanced treatments, many individuals with type 2 diabetes develop refractory disease, leading to poor glycemic control and a higher risk of complications. Hypercortisolism, which promotes hyperglycemia, may be a key contributing factor. A recent study found a 23.8% prevalence of hypercortisolism in patients with difficult to control type 2 diabetes, linking the condition to higher rates of cardiovascular disease. As stable salivary cortisol testing can effectively screen for this condition, this study has two aims. First, the study will evaluate the prevalence of hypercortisolism in patients with difficult to control type 2 diabetes and identify its associated risk factors. Second, the study will establish the correlation between salivary cortisol and glycemic levels in this population.
