abstract：OBJECTIVE:Hypercortisolism is associated with impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. For many years hydrocortisone 30 mg was the standard total daily replacement dose in adult hypopituitarism. The use of this conventional dose has now been shown to result in mild biochemical hypercortisolism and might contr...
