Popis: Introduction Glycated hemoglobin (A1c) and glycated albumin (GA) are often used as indicators of glycemic control. In this study, we determined whether prednisolone (PSL) administration lowers plasma GA. Methods We investigated the factors affecting GA using multivariate analysis in 48 subjects with connective tissue diseases (CTDs). Results Multiple regression analysis of GA showed that the dose of PSL [β = − 1.36; 95% confidence interval (CI) − 2.59 to − 0.14; p = 0.03], age (β = 0.06; 95% CI 0.03–0.09; p
