SUMMARY .AND CONCLUSION
The Aim of the Work:-
The aim of the work is to s~udy the effect of
corticosteroidson glucose tolerance of asthmatic diabetic
patients.
Our work was done on tWilnty patients which were
classified into two groups.
Group I:
Composed of ten diabetic patients, 5 of them were
males and 5 were females, their ages ranged between
45 _ 60 years, their body weight ranged between 60 -91 kg,
and duration of diabetes ranged between 1 - 13 years.
Group II:
Composed of ten asthmatic diabetic patients 5 of
them were males and 5 were females their ages ranged
between 42 - 63, their body weights ranged between
63 _ 90 kg, the duration of diabetes ranged between
3 _ 11·years, and the duration of asthma ranged between
1 - 12 years.
The following were done for all patients:
(1) Completehistor.Y taking.
- 91 -
(2) Family history of diabetes and asthma.
(J) Past-history of other metabolic or endocrinal disorder,
and the type and dose of treatment used.
(4) FUll medical examination including all system6
- . .’-
(5) Fasting and 2 hours postprandial blood sugar,serum
cholesterol, creatininla,md blood urea estimation.
(6) For asthmatic patient all the previous steps were
done and the following were added.
a- Pulmonary function tests.
b- Blood examination.
c- Sputum examination.
d- Chest x-ray.
e- Skin tests to detect the specific an~ig@n.
For all patients glucose tolerance curve and double
sample tests were done.
All patients were treated with prednisolone in
adose of l5mg!day for 4 weeks, then glucose tolerance
and double sample tests were repeated.

The results:
1- 90’}&of the diabetic patients had no significant
changes in their glucose tolerance and their blood
glucose level when treated with prednisolone.
2- 80% of the asthmatic diabetic patients had insignificant
changes in their glucose tolerance and their blood
glucose level when treated with prednisolone.
J- On comparing glucose tolerance of both groups, there
was no significant difference and asthma has no
significant effect on glucose tolerance and blood
glucose level.
