Knee Steroid Injection and Blood Sugar Signatur

Study Purpose

A prospective, observational study assessing the relationship between HbA1c level and the post-injection blood glucose signature. Participants will be non-diabetic, pre-diabetic, non-insulin dependent and insulin dependent type 2 diabetic patients who will be receiving a knee steroid injection. All of them will be consented a week prior to the injection, when the CGM sensor will be applied to the back of the upper arm. This will be removed a week after the injection. KOOS survey as well as VAS will be administered. Adverse events (e.g., change in medication or hospitalization) will be monitored throughout the study.

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
