Effect of Inhaled Corticosteroids on Blood Glucose Homeostasis in Asthmatic Children

Background: Asthma is a common disease especially in kids. The development of asthma symptoms appears to involve a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. There are many medicines for asthma management, the most important of which is corticosteroid. High doses of inhaled cor...
