A decline in serum glucose level would be expected to a patient who is successfully treated for Cushing’s syndrome. People who are suffering from this syndrome usually have high levels of cortisol. Cortisol helps regulate the blood sugar level and when the levels of cortisol are high, the levels of blood sugar also heightens. When a person who was suffering Cushing’s syndrome gets a treatment and is a success, the levels of cortisol will dramatically decrease.
Symptoms of this syndrome are weight gain with purple or pink stretch marks, and wounds that heal slowly. It is better to treat this syndrome when early symptoms appear so it will not lead to type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and osteoporosis.
