When glycosylated hemoglobin is a true roller coaster

摘要

Corticosteroids negatively interfere with glycemic control.

The relationship established with the patient allowed her to speak openly about her working environment, allowing her to trust the information provided by her family physician ensuring that she rejected new attempts to medicate her with that drug.
