Screening of Cushing's Syndrome in Outpatients with Type 2 Diabetes: Results of a Prospective Multicentric Study in Italy

Abstract

The present data do not support widespread screening of patients with type 2 diabetes for Cushing's syndrome; however, the disorder is less rare than previously thought when considering epidemiology of type 2 diabetes. Our results support a case-finding approach in patients with uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension despite appropriate treatment.
