Glucose metabolism profile recorded by flash glucose monitoring system in patients with hypopituitarism during prednisone replacement

Figure 5 Glucose level and area under the curve during the day, at 0-3 am, period and at 3-8 am period. Comparison of prednisone (Pred) > 5mg/d group to normal controls (NCs): A1, during the day; A2, at 0-3am; A3, at 3-8am; A4, AUC. Comparison of prednisone (Pred) ≤ 5mg/d group to normal controls (NCs): B1, during the day; B2, at 0-3am; B3, at 3-8am; B4, AUC. Data are denoted as mean ± SE. ^aP < 0.05. AUC: Area under the curve; NCs: Normal controls; Pred: Prednisone.
